And you have to say Nico has been doing the better job. Lewis has been messy a few times this year....Nico just fets on with it and never makes a mistake of consequence

yeah it was interesting hearing his radio comments as the issue unfolded, asking calmly for what to do... and then when the shit hit the fan he looked at the bigger picture and just wanted to limp around, most drivers so far get angry and just want a fix....

Have to agree. Cant help but feel Lewis would have just said "come on guys, we can't have this" then had a winge after the race.

Despite having double the number of DNF's, Lewie still has 66.67% more race wins than Rosbergo

So I, respectfully, disagree with that assessment

Interesting to see the Merc power unit in more detail. I was of the belief that they were running a big single.

That photo confuses me. They do run a big single, its in the regulations:

A Formula One car’s power unit consists of a 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 engine which operates in conjunction with an Energy Recovery System (ERS). The engine must have six cylinders in a 90-degree formation, with two inlet and two exhaust valves per cylinder and a single turbocharger. They are rev-limited to 15,000rpm, have a fuel flow limit of 100 kilograms/hour and produce around 600bhp. They must also have a single tailpipe exhaust.

But seen as they have what appears to be the best engine at the moment, I wouldnt be suprised if they were putting out a display engine that isnt exactly what sits in the cars. At least it looks like its some sort of display section its in anyway.

but the Canada retirement was due to Hamilton not having the awareness to identify early enough, and/or the mechanical sympathy to nurse the car home with the same issue Rosberg had... so Hamilton is responsible for that retirement.

fair cop maybe; his driving style prefers a little more rear brake bias, which shows up the marginal nature of the rear rotor thickness when the drag induced by ERS harvesting is taken away

consider if he'd finished third though, he'd be 11 points ahead rather than just 4 shy

they indeed do

the uniqueness of the Merc setup is that the compressor and turbine housings are at opposite ends of the engine with the connecting shaft running through the MGU-H motor in the center of the V, thereby giving a more optimal route for the intake pipework

When he is on it he has done a good job. But when he has had his mech failures he has been behind Rosberg. When Rosbergs car failed he was in the lead. But thats only a small part of it.

The main reason for saying it as its not even a case of being out qualified by Rosberg, but more the point that he has thrown away 3 (?) qualifying sessions now by being a hack. I mean he has had woeful qualifying where as Rosberg has done everything needed from him.

As Harry pointed out...I will refrain from criticizing Hamilton for the retirement in Canada but I think its important to credit Rosberg with how he handled the situation and bagged a second place.

So just have to cross fingers that Lauda and Wolff let them continue to race each other

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
