Personally I think LH was definitely in the wrong, but as I've said earlier, given the "spirit" of the race, the way they were going at it, through run off areas etc etc, and most importantly, the fact that what he did at that particular time had really not much bearing on the race, then the penalty was too harsh.

At least give it to Kimi!! WTF did Massa do to deserve that win?

It was great entertainment, and if this doesn't get overturned, just add one more reason for the drivers to play it extra safe next time round.

The word ‘intentional’ and ‘deliberate’ are two words that seemed to be ignored

Its not like this off track excursion was planned. He tried a move, it didn’t work, gave the spot back and took it again. Do we now need to allocate a specific time you have to remain behind before you’re allowed to repass somebody? More rules?

Fcuks sake, it was by far and away the most exciting thing we’ve seen all year, and then penalising the guy because he didn’t complete it inch perfect. No wonder nobody has the nuts to overtake anymore, you’ll just fkn get pinged for it so you might as well circulate where you are and take the points you have.

This is ludicrous. Kimi ended up in the way anyway when his talent ran out. Nobody was robbed and nobody seemed to have a problem with it at the time. Now there a million arm chair professionals sitting at home with the heater on and their internet connection ready to rock criticising a move that was done in a matter of seconds in the wet, on the wrong tyres, for the lead of a race.

Lewis clearly was going to get him eventually and tried to the best of his ability. He could have launched down the inside at the same spot clipped kimi, taken either of them and then critised for that too.

Farkin spot on moot. Couldntve said it better myself.

Its the freaking "rules" that are the argument for too many and everybody knows there are too many damned rules!

What pisses me off the most is that the FIA havent even had the temerity or the balls or both to even farking explain why they did it and show the bloody proof.

Those farking muppets just said " Infraction - cutting chicane - strip him of the win. End of story."

"Proof? Oh...dont forget were the FIA - we dont have to prove anything to you and we can manipulate things the way we see fit. Understand?"

And who of any of you would claim that to be fair, just, right and in the best interests of the sport?

FFS!

Adam, mate, think about what you are saying. DC has been given stop go penalties, often he has damaged the car and not been able to continue. But feel free to point out the cases when that has not been true, because i suspect you can find an instance or two.

The FIA have been pretty consistant at handing out stop gos for driving offences resulting in clashes on the track or where results have been tainted handing out palce penalties. Fiscal fines have been handed out when drivers have done things on their own that have not affected race results or the team has dropped tools accross lines etc

I will also add, the FIA are doing the right thing in not considering how the race results will be affected by the ruling. It doesnt, nor shoudl it matter if the penalty takes the win from Lewis. Its a tragedy for Lewis, but the offence has to have the usual penalty applied irrespective of the outcome. Cant say its too big a shame as he won the race. There was an infringement, they applied the usual penalty, a stop go or in this case the time penalty for a stop go. The fact that it robs him of th ewin should not come into it

Give it to Kimi!??

Yeah, NISMO, give it to a guy who overtook 2 cars under yellow, was out of control crazy in the last 4 laps, a danger to himself and others, a guy who not only that but also cut la source blatantly and kept the advantage.

FFS you guys look at what else was going on at the time!!

Dude, relax, it was a jk to highlight how silly i think the decision to hand the win to Massa was.

How do you explain Massa and the pitstop or KR and the farking farce of him running around spewing parts all over the place for half the race? Not a meatball or fine in sight.

I swear the FIA turns a blind eye to ferrari when they f**k up and put Mac under the grill when they do.

Am i seriously the only guy on here who see it that way?

Nah im cool and i know what you were trying to say...

Im still shaking my head at the way the governing body has just slapped all of us in the face and shot the sport in the foot... :)

Can't believe I'm going to say this, but yes Adam I agree.

Not simply for penalties, but by far Ferrari draws the biggest dollars to the sport. Therefore Ferrari = God.

It's a business guys and anyone who thinks that those in charge would not do what they can to ensure they get the thousands of Ferrari fans at the track for the remainder of the season is kidding themselves.

lol, since when has agreeing with me been a bad thing!?? :)

Like im always wrong or something?>>

Well I can't agree with:

Schumacher - Hungary 06.

Alonso - Monza 06.

Mangy Cours - 08.

I think they should've made Kimi pit, that was fcking dangerous..

Don't get me wrong, there are things Ferrari have done that that should've been given at least a degree of attention.. However, stop making out that McLaren are a group of saints, they are not. Neither are Ferrari, and frankly, not punishing Ferrari when they are due IS of detrement to the sport. But when Lewis cops it, take it on the chin.. I'm almost inclined to think his attitude has something to do with it, maybe he's not too well liked behind the cutains of F1. What can I say, but all I know his the manner in which he acts does sour a lot of people's attitude towards him. Not that it should matter with the stewards or race control or anything, it never should. However, maybe it is half the reason they are less willing to be indiscretionary towards team Lewis...

Ah man...what the fallout from all this bullshit is gonna be is anyones guess...

I disagree with Wolvie and Dunc when they said Mac would get it back...

Its all too farked up now... :)

No, we all see it, but you are the one that is hopefully going to have a stroke over it :) Massa ddint bang wheels, the team released him, and when required lifted to merge behnd him. Not a great job by the team, but they were fined for it. What bearing did that have to the overall race result. The penalty (fine) was because the team provided the drivers and pit lane with a dangerous situation, not an accident.

Also the Kimi thing with debris. I agree, but they appear to have gotten the ruling right. There was damage to the car, but none of it fell off. Though i think he shoudl have been made to pit and remove it. But perhaps they know nore about the integrity of the cars then me?!?!?!

But Adam, i see it, i think everybody sees it. I think you are blinded by your passion to the point where you think its the end of the world. Ferrari fans love, it...McLAren fans will hate it. I love it because the championship is now close and will be a great fight.

I read that one of the 3 people who made the call to strip Hammo was a Kenyan, lol.

Forgive me, but since when did Kenya have anything remotely related to modern day f1 racing?

It is clear to me the best thing to do is clean house, boot the stewards that have little or no relevance to F1 and appoint a resident official with people appointed by him who adjudicates at all the GP - people who DO have F1 backgrounds...not mixing and matching like they currently do, changing the officials from GP to GP.

Its never going to work this way.

Its a complete joke as it is.

Fark changing and adding rules. Change the bloody stewards and get people in there who know racing and arent just some muppet with almost zero motorsporting experience.

Here is said Kenyan's Surinder Thatthi's motorsport profile.

Hardly compelling or worthy to judge the best drivers in the world, wouldnt you say?

AND he wasnt even the driver!

F1 fans, Roy, the fans - do not like it one bit.

YOu have got it so wrong its not funny.

This is not about Hamilton. This is not about KR...or Ferrari or Mac.

The bigger picture screams farce and the FIA again is in hot water.

Its about the sport Roy - the reason we have stoushes, the integrity.

They have f**ked the sports reputation for the 30th thime this year.

The poor drivers are copping the blame - and they should not even be the focus of this argument now.

The moderation of the sport is batshit and needs a thorough hosing.

I will freely admit my judgement is clouded by the fact that I can't stand hamilton.

the real question is would I feel the same way if it were kimi cutting the chicance, winning the race, then copping the penalty?? we shall never know, unless kimi has a brain fade next race and tries some more 'creative' moves... :)

And thats where ill let the dead dog that is F1 lay...until it all sparks up again in Monza this weekend.

Unfortunately for all of us, its 40% racing and 60% bullshit politics.

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
