The FIA seriously need to take a hard look at themselves. They allow this race to happen every year although EVERYBODY hates it, and they want to replace Melbournes spot on the calander? What a boring waste of time this was. We all knew what the podium was going to look like and the only slight bit of entertainment was Alonso overtaking Kubica and Davidson getting punted off by the Renault

And now instead of a 35 point constructors point lead, Mclaren is 19 points infront of Ferrari. The FIA make me sick. This is why im embarrassed to tell people i watch F1

sato passing massa (and staying there!) was entertaining too! go taku.

I can't believe how retarded RBRs strategy for webber was. in the first stop they fuelled him up like he was going a 2 stop, then for some unknown reason brough him in early for a short stop, and then again for a third. He was within a couple of seconds of alonso all race even when heavy and had he been 2 stopping I've no doubt he would have been 5th, 6th, or 7th at worst. MORONS! 2 stop was always going to be the way to go.

apart from that what a boring race.

My god Massa is such a shit kicker. Started 14th finished 13th... i think Ferrari have discovered who their number 1 is now

Damon Hill wasnt as bad as i thought he was going to be... he had some interesteing things to contribute and was generally on the ball. You can see he's still very keen on F1 and all the drama associated with it. The best bit of his commentary was when Alonso ran wide following Nick and Damon sounded like he almost leaped out of his chair "ALONSO'S OFF!!!".

yeah a bit of a shame he doesn't know the difference between extravagant and eccentric.. especially since he used it so many times.

imagine driving a ferrari and getting passed by a super aguri, and then staying there for 69 more laps... nasty.

and the fact that he called Alonso, Massa... twice ffs

And it goes to show, that unless he's on pole, Massa has nothing to contribute to the sport... at least the Mclaren boys are keeping it interesting!! The next time they're both on the podium should be good viewing. Much like the post quali press conference where hamilton really did shit me.

hamilton is a rookie. He doesnt know how to "play" f1 games. he told a packed press conference he "was told nothing over the radio" ( in reference to letting alonso past at the beginning of Q3 ) and that only when he was on his in lap for the final sprint was he told to slow down a bit because alonso was coming into the box.

Oh he said it in a room packed with press....so it must be true. :P

I love how as soon as he does something dodgy, he's just a rookie and doesn't know what he's doing, but when he's scoring podiums he's the greatest driver to ever grace the sport....stop riding his sack so hard :D

Ok so Lewis disobeyed team orders.....bad. BUT those team orders were in order to benefit Alonso and possibly jeopardise Hamilton. So I have no problem that Hamilton didn't obey, however Alonso acting like a little girl and stopping Hamilton going out for a final lap was pathetic.

Massa's car was a dog, once again showed he can't do anything unless he is leading from the front.

+1

I can't fathom the reasoning- One of the drivers misbehaves (and only disadvantages his own teams chances), and the FIA thinks it's fair play to strip the manufacturer of championship points for the round. Are the teams supposed to be able to regulate every thing the drivers do? As if Ron Dennis wasn't ticked off enough by the incident itself anyway. You'd be more than a little pissed if you were spending all that money just to give the drivers a chance at more points. I'm not overly fussed if Lewis or Alonso win the drivers championship (would like Lewis to win though), but i do care weather McLaren win the manufacturers championship.

FIA is french for Teh Ghey

So. It's ok for Hamilton to disobey team orders to get ahead, but Alonso is not allowed to do what he needs to, to get ahead?

I don't understand how Hamilton letting Alonso through ( the team strategy ) when he should have, would have benifeted Alonso. The strategy was there to ensure both drivers could come in and out without incident. Hamilton disobeyed the team strategy and now Alonso is the pr!ck for putting him in his place?

Either way bring it on, about time F1 got a bit (and I mean a bit) of feeling back into it.

agreed. pretty weak though that he couldn't even pass a super aguri...

Ron admits to mistrust between drivers

Sunday, 05, August, 2007, 17:09

McLaren team boss Ron Dennis has admitted that there are tensions and mistrust between his two drivers amid their intense battle for the world championship.

No, really? :laughing-smiley-014:

I would have paid good money to be a fly on the wall at the debrief after qualifying.

Once again the FIA have made a dogs breakfast of it, again. So McLaren had problems, but how do they get penalised when, say, Fisichella got away with his efforts in qualifying? Oh Ferrari benefitted. I understand now.

fisi got hammered as well didn't he? or was that trulli? one of the euro fags gots reamed for holding people up in quali. actually yeah it was fisi.

Reamed how, though? I don't think he got dumped down the back of the grid or had a time removed. Certainly Renault got some constructors points.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
