Thats laughable considering all the BS we have had to put up with over the past 9 months!!

its all becoming a HUGE joke at the moment, the main race seems to be who can get to the press the fastest now not the finish line.

They need...no...desperately demand a good show - for our sakes let me remind you - and a penalty for LH will add up to a grandstand finish with 3 dirvers going toe to toe for it in the final exciting chapter!!!! Great for ratings if your a follower of Friends, 24, Prison break etc etc etc ..

looks like the FIA is taking a chapter out of the VESCO book on how to rig a final round!!

pretty sure the lights were still on on the safety car at the time of the incident....

to me that pretty much makes it clear that hamilton was driving like a f**k wit (especially given the conditions) when he had absolutely no reason to be heating tires or brakes as the lights were still on and the safety car obviously wasn't due in yet...

Hope he gets the penalty he deserves, especially considering Vettel has been penalised 10 grid spots for a crash that came about because of eratic driving by the race leader :thumbsup:

I agree with M4gtr on the whole 'FIA are in it for ratings not racing' pov, and yes, it is full of s*#@. However, firstly, it is inherent given the Bernie/Banks/Mosley set-up... Do you really expect the heirarcy aren't going to íntervene when necissary' in order to maintain profits and popular appeal? I'm sure you know that in particular is a major factor? As far as I'm concern, F1 should never of been owned, nor should it ever, fact is however, it is... After Alonso's 'blocking penalty' at Monza last year, I will say I do see your point about total lack of partial judgement within the governing of race weekends, on this year's spying scandal, the jury is still out..

On the 5 car lengths thing, if it is a rule, and Hamilton did not adher to it, then it is legit, as it, be it directly or indireclt (depend on pov), it caused an accident. Remember all those stop-goes and drive throught between 2002 and 2004? Between Ralfie, Montoya, Schumi and co. When they all went argy bargie for a few weekends there and the pit exit line shenanigans??? These rule violations happen, deal with it, it is entirely a driver's resonsibility to pilot the car in acorrect manner that is entirely adherent to the rules and regs.. Simple as that..

Looks like a 10 place grid penalty may be on the way... that'll spice up the last couple of races

My intrest in the rest of the season is back on track

Well I noticed a couple of things.

1. The piss weak folk at FIA/ITV had their coverage removed from Youtube (the bits that missed the incident). Bit rich for them to use someone elses for their own purposes then, really.

2. Lewis was was over the right hand side of the track near on level with the safety car. Webber was on the other side & only a couple of car lengths behind the safety car aswell. Sure, Lewis was driving erratically (& should be fined and/or slapped about for it) but really I don't think they can pin Webber's accident on him.

backflips... not once but TWICE in two successive days!

he is the toughest guy on the grid, no doubt, and that manly chin cleft of his must pull the chicks no end. Not when its covered in spew mind you...

Vettel is getting pinned to remember… seems like apportioning blame to everybody equally is what the FIA is looking to do

So fking up your career prospects isn't penalty enough?

I want to know what happens when they give the whole grid a 10 spot penalty. Got to happen sooner or later.

sebastien, please try to choose your words more carefully next time....

"I was looking to the right and I was sure he (Hamilton) was retiring, there was no power anymore and yeah, all I can say is that by the time I looked back I was already in Mark's rear end so..."

I dont think mark likes you being in his rear end, lol :):ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

oh and check out these typical webboisms...

Q: And is that something you will bring up say, in the drivers' meeting?

Webber: Yeah. We'll talk about it, waste a bit of oxygen and move on.

...when asked about LH handling the SC,...

Webber: I think he did a shit job behind the safety car. He did a shit job and that's it.

Webber: As Fernando just touched on, it's the game we are in. It's not lawn bowls, it's F1.

hes such a champ, even if his best result is only 3rd. :D:P:)

haha, yes I know twice. that's why I said "driven after doing 4 back-flips over the fence" meaning he flipped but then went back into the car and drove it and flipped it again!

and that lawn bowls comment is pure gold. F1 will be much worse off without an aussie on the grid :D

What do you mean get over it... I'm still not over Michael Schumacher...

*hugs Ferrari teddy bear*

Well this may help.

Ferrari make more money from merchandise than they make from cars.

So they have more in common with, say, Mattel than with Mercedes.

Does that help?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By feartherb26 · Posted

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
