What was massively entertaining was after the race finished and one ITV muppet turned to the other and said "star of the race"?

Now I dislike Hamilton more than most people but I would have conceded on this occasion and said he deserved it by far. Great pass, gutsy strategy, massively quick after dispensing of that third world loser, and the ability to keep kimi at bay for 10 laps without breaking a sweat. Its hard to give it to anybody else.

But because his strategy was never really going to work and their CONSTANT chatter about him during the whole race which most of the time was unrelated to what was happening on screen they were then forced into having to share the spotlight with the guy that actually won... and sounded none to happy about it

lol, loved it

Ha. So why didnt he grab second then i wonder...?

Hamilton for the drive of the race. McLarens strategy was the best of the bunch and Hammo made the most of it - no mistake about that. Seeing the Mac come out infront of KR's Ferrari was sweet and Hammo deserved it.

Great strategy? McLaren are obtuse for fuelling Heiki with 31 laps of fuel with 32 laps to go and needing to change for the option tyres. Makes no sense, what they wanted to slow him down by getting him to carry more fuel? Ditto Hamilton, why they didnt put him on the soft tyres for his second stint, being so short, then run him long with his preferred tyres for a two stopper? Massa is suspect under pressure and they would have stood a better chance of winning by leaping Massa in teh pits, and if that failed just hussle the Brazilian until the eventual fold. Sure it was gutsy strategy, but bloody stupid. Its like Chinda last year when he stayed out on shot tyres waiting for the weather. Only this time it didnt backfire so badly. :)

Highlight was Glock at the back havinbg a good old time with the Renault

And ITV... Senna esque? Let me be the first in line Adam, there was nothing brilliant about the drive

well apparently the 3 stopper was insisted upon by bridgestone. Maybe lewis would've had a better chancec of winning if they went 2 stopper and bullied massa til the end. He must be SO sick of coming second.

Yep ditto... Sure he was 'on it' so to speak, but he wasn't wrangling the car for all it was worth.. It wasn't Sennaesque, it wasn't a Hungary 1998 job that's for sure...

This is 'Sennaesque', a man on a strategy switch making it work...

On that note, God I miss Murray... :)

Really cracked the shits when I heard that. I .really don't think that ITV could be any further up Louise's arse, it's rediculous.

Can this kid's head get any fcking bigger..

'My best race yet'..

How many times has he said that now... Fck I'm surprised he can still put on his helmet..

Ha. So why didnt he grab second then i wonder...?

Perhaps because he knows he's leading the championship, and giving away 2 points as opposed to 8 if he tries something with so few laps to go, is not smart :(

Great passing moves by the McLaren drivers: Kova carving up half the field like a gun, and Hami's uber-ballsy pass on Massa right on the limit down to the apex. Gripping.

I don't know if I'd call HK's passing moves anything special personally...The majority of them he was re passed pretty much straight away, and only took the position on the straight due to his far superior straight line acceleration and speed.

Glad someone said it...I heard the phrase 'Senna esque' mentioned at least 2 times....

And why is it that they had to take precautions with Louise's tires but not HK's? Is it because he locks more wheels than a Victorian parking officer?

Also, Kimi said in the post race interview that his front wing took some minor damage when he and Heikki tagged on the first corner... Could've cost him a tenth or two, without the damage I reckon Kimi would've taken more chances at passing Louise..

I watched 30 laps from the streaming, went to bed then got up at 3:50am and watched another 15 laps then went to work for 2hrs then came home and watched the remaining few laps then went back to work :P

Another race where track position is king.

I scoffed out loud when i heard that myself. Pure JA bullshit///,.,;

I honestly thought LH's drive was the best of the race. He very nearly made it work. Cmon peeps, give credit where credit is due - it was a good drive and it proves, once again, LH knows what hes doing.

KR claiming his car was slow was pretty funny, he set the fastest lap of the race and when pinned on it was like "pfft, yeah well it was still okay considering the end of the wing was damaged."

Not sure if anyone else heard it but Nakajima pwned the shit out of LG when she interviewed him. She was like" So, you werent able to get the front wing fixed to be able to go out again?" and KN was like " Front wing? It wasnt the front wing, it was the rear wing." Pwned, LOL.

Theres a lot of LH haters on here but lets call a spade a spade. MS, for example, was one of the most self righteous guys to ever sit behind the wheel of one of these things and irrespective of the mass of championships he compiled he was still a pretty openly arrogant guy.

You cant survive in F1 without having an over inflated sense of self worth. Youd just fall to the way side.

They say nice guys finish last? Well that certainly applies to the F1 circus.

M3gtr's top 10 conclusions from the The land of goat sphincter rings GP

1. LH knows how to chase, pass and make risky strategies work.

2. KR is the best at making the most awesome understatements.

3. The ITV crew apart from MB and TK need to go.

4. The Istanbul security people need to be shot. How 2 wild dogs got inside the perimeter let alone on the track itself is inexcusable.

5. Turn 8 is the ballsiest corner on the calender spare Eau Rouge. It just needs a ballsier name now.

6. Massa is now a championship contender and KR should be considering him a serious threat.

7. Piquet jr isnt really all hes cracked up to be. Alonso absolutely wiped the floor with him yet again.

8. MW takes naps during every middle stint of a race.

9. Super Aguri have already been forgotten... :)

10. SV is trying to take over MW's mantle as the unluckiest F1 driver in history.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
