god I hate hamilton

always has to make out that the world is against him and that he triumphed against all odds

Take it easy Dezz... Hamilton admitted it wasnt the best decision to go back out on the Prime...

He drove a banzai lap and ended up only a tenth off the pole - and that on Hard tyres!

Hammo for the lead into turn one!

He didnt come across like that at all to me. Remember, Peter Windsor is always trying to blow him ( Hes the guy who gives all the interviews in press conferences.)

Thanks, I know who Peter Windsor is :domokun:

What I meant was Ron Dennis had said that Hamilton couldn't keep the option tire consistent for a single lap dash, so he went with the prime which was better suited to his car and the circumstances....So he chose the tire that was best for him for the job at hand.

Then he turns it around and says he made a wrong decision, implying that if he had have gone with the option instead, he would've been on pole....In my opinion he made the right choice for his car, in those circumstances, and he got the result out of that choice (3rd) Had he gone with the option which he couldn't keep consistent for a single lap dash, he may well have been worse off than 3rd.

So to say he made the wrong decision, yet still finished third, is just him talking it up in my opinion to make himself look better :stupid:

nick heidfeld seems to be markedly slower than kubica. webber still qualifying very well....now if he can get off the line and keep it clean he will be in with a chance of some good points.

still good to see that the gap between the have's and have not's is not warp factor 7. half a second is so much closer than in the last few years.

a wet race sometime soon will really put the cat amongst the pigeons. i am betting button is out doing rain dances at every round.

Webber wants new RBR contract so at least he seems happy there.

I love Williams, but what is it with them the past 5 or so years that they start well and finish the season well, with a sometimes good Monaco, for the rest of the 12 or so GP they go backwards :)

But, hopefully Loiuse bins with Kimi or Kubica meaning if Webber has another good race he will get a good points haul courtesy of a few falling over

Hamilton = knob...

Still, chances are Kimi is running a little heavier.... If he can punch in some uber quick in laps... Race is his for the taking...

I'm hoping he is fueled to run longer, but he may or may not have been held up on his final Q3 run by Alonso....I saw a quick replay of who I think was Kimi passing Alonso, and they mentioned he had a very slow first sector....It might not have been Kimi, but it could've been...

We'll find out tonight I guess, fingers crossed.

Yeah, i saw that too... Grid penalties for impeding other drivers anyone??

It wasnt Piquet. Thats for sure - he was out in quali 1 and it wasnt Massa because he'd already done his pole lap...

Alonso was right on the racing line with Kimi steaming up behind him, no doubt about it.

Hey Mark, if Hammo came up to you and said, give me a blowie and you can test the car at the next round, sif you wouldnt be rippin his fireproofs off right there and then, lol

m3gtr, so you know about Lewis and his mobile phone portfolio of BJs :)

Just call me Adam, Roy and yeah im sure he tells all the boys that! I bet he puts that free Vodafone plan he gets to good use doesnt he?

He should be very careful with where he puts his phone as there is some pretty incriminating vods on it. But then again if the girls where lining up why wouldnt you :)

lol, I wouldnt want to cut in line in front of you Roy,

age before beauty and all that Jazz,lol

There would be a greater chance of me unzipping my pants and pissing on him first..

    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
