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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
