Oh Bottas, youuuuu fuucked up; Or was it because you drove so hard in the first two sectors that the rear tyres weren't there at the end?

I wanted so bad for him to upset the Mercedes party. Think if he led from the start he might be able to hold it till the end

There's another story link at the bottom of that story that just shows how they are playing up Schumacher's improvement. The other story says "he'll soon be able to lead a normal life" despite the fact that he's still unable to move or speak, and his son says in the first story that he's only "waking up" very slowly.

So much for any of the other teams catching them up. They were soooo dominant today. The fact that Rosberg was quicker than Williams, Dan etc on hammered tyres...those things rarely show their true speed.

Seems very ominous for next year too. They only have to tweak this years car to remain dominate whilst RBR, McLaren and Ferrari need to find 1.5-2.0 seconds over Xmas :(

Oh well.

One thing about last nights race was the joke that the FIA call track limits, Vettel in his usual great form driving straight off the track at most corner exits.

Other teams will match the configuration of the Mercs next year. Will hopefully be a fairer race, only time will tell.

Monaco really showed how fast they were as well. Watching the Mercs leave RBR in their dust on the straights. No wonder they are wining everything with the speed those things have.

if they aren't enforcing track limits, it makes sense to exploit it to your advantage.

I think the fact everyone had to conserve fuel helped Rosberg. If others had fuel to burn along with their fresher rubber, it might have been a different story. But yeah, Hamilton just coasting around setting fastest laps was a little bit ridiculous! And Mercedes engines top 5 places.

Unfortunately it seems Rosberg is the one folding under the WDC pressure at critical moments lately. As much as I hate to say it, Hamilton seems to have his number now.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
