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..

good. a ten place penalty will bring louise back in webber area of the grid. time for some payback mark. get your vomiting, swearing aussie self dialed in, then t-bone the bastard! it seems turning one into a canoe is the closest you will get to a decent car.

yeah mark is old school irish. not like you new generation fagotty irish.

I mean he's driven when sick, drive with spew helmet, driven with his arse on fire, driven after doing 4 back-flips over the fence and just generally drive the most crappy cars in the field. we salute you webber!

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.

yeah mark is old school irish. not like you new generation fagotty irish.

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:)

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

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

he'll be around for a while yet, im sure. DC will retire after next season and MW wil take over the helm...that is unless he somehow manages to get in a potential race winning machine..

Im sure he will get a win.....someday?

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?

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
