Well done hammo, most exciting race of the season.

second that, it was a great race.

happy to see the torro rosso cars up playing with the big boys

thought kimi had it in the bag until the 2nd stop.

So, thinking back to Webber. I wonder where he coud have placed if Heikki had a clue. Luckiest guy in F1, did very little in the Renault, picks up one of the best 4 seats in F1, hasnt even had a good weekend that has seen him show real pace...and lucked into the record books as a GP winner.

Funny enough, I like the guy and he seems a pleasant fella. But fancy a bloke still learning the ropes of F1 getting that seat :)

But interestingly enough, my earlier comment about how Lewis gained an advantage and passing opportunity by shooting accross the chicane...well i just heard its beign investigated. Probably cop a fine but will laugh my ass off if the whole FIA hate MacLaren rears its head. It was a line ball thing in my eyes, but not as bad as that move earlier this year on i think it was Rosberg

Lewis Hamilton's victory in doubt:

I reckon Lewwy will get the win back. Some of the stuff he has done since coming in has been stupid and for that I generally think the guy is a twat but this time he fixed his mistake as far as I'm concerned. And I think that will end up being what is ruled after the appeal.

Just one season mate... Cant we have just ONE season without this crap?

That’s two races in a row now with the most horrible stewards calls we’ve seen in a long time

Mclaren lost last season because of this, now it seems like just winning races on merit and generally being better on the day isn’t good enough anymore.

If Massa wins this years title by 4 points or less, ill be done with this sport

It's a tough one, cause the stewards will argue that had he taken the bus stop without cutting, he wouldn't have been as close to Kimi as he was.

From what I've read, I think the issue is that even though he gave back the spot, he was still closer to Kimi than if he had gone through the corner behind him.

You can then argue than if kimi had not pushed him so wide that hammo was forced to either drive off track or slam into the side of him, he took the sensible option, dutifully let the man who cut him off past again and kept the race going

The Mclaren was a faster car by a good portion of a second, the fact that he caught kimi again by the hairpin is moot. He would have caught him again anyway.

Completely agree mate.

I think in the whole "spirit" of the race, where they were both attacking, racing down the run off areas, and given the conditions, the fact that it's even being looked at is a pretty pi$$ poor effort. The fact that Ferrari didn't even bother with a complaint proves this.

It was a good stoush, Kimi crashed out, and Massa was to far behind to be hard done by through anything either Kimi or Lewis did. What are they trying to prove with all this, other than a few stewards trying to get their names in the papers??

wah wah wah...

"cut him off" lol! Its called "taking your line". Its proper forecful racing - particularly when you're safe in the knowledge the guy behind you needs points and can't afford to crash out with his championship contender right behind him in the points. Lewis barely got a wheel in there - it wasn't his corner. and running people wide on exit is par for the course - you're inside its your line to take.

catching and passing are two very different things mate

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
