See above Salad.

You tell me whos more qualified to judge and dont get into nationalities please.

Thats just pointless because if you are an F1 fan - a REAL F1 fan, you will respect SIR Jackie Stewart as much as the late Brockie, at the very least.

If you want to bring F1 drivers into then fine.

I'm up for that and ill take JS over JT any day of the millennium.

Last time i checked one had won a few championships and one had a race win under his belt... :D

Dont bring nationalities into it? I am not going to be goated anymore Adam...

pfft - sif sex is better than F1 anyway.

and sif i was "goating" you, Roy.

You still havent adressed the issue of JS opinion vs JT opinion...

instead you have focussed on the word "nationaliteeeeee"

( I was joking about F1 being better than sex by the way,,.,,,....)

Hamilton cut the chicane there is no doubt; however there is also no doubt that he lifted to allow Kimi back in front. The question that will be debated on this and other websites for days to come is whether he lifted enough.

Adam...

Are you related to any of the great dictators of the 20th century?? I ask this because, you appear to have the incredible resemblance to many of them, in the form of ranting like a complete mad-man... Utterly convinced by your own own arguments, completely oblivious to another peoples point of views and choosing (even if consciously not aware) to overlook that stark obvious facts...

As far as I, and many others are concern, he broke regulation, incident was reviewed, he was punished accordingly and that is that... If you want to start questioning JT on the basis you have, save yourself.. You've not only dug yur own grave, you're already neck deep in it.. Lastly, and quite frankly, there isn't a damn thing you can do about it...

I agree with JS re the full time stewards...but some of other stuff, well he sits on the other side of the argument...there are two valid views....BUT

JS - "We saw earlier in the year, at Silverstone, that Raikkonen isn't comfortable driving his Ferrari in the wet and it was the same on Sunday. Hamilton was clearly much faster and was going to pass him sooner or later. The stewards should have taken that into account.

Cant agree. Stewards deal with the event on its merits. Not what happened several GPs ago in wet conditions...and they should have used their crystal ball to predict that Lewis was not going to make a mistake and KImi would have been slower and nto able to match the pace of the McLaren. If that was the case they shoudl promote Webber a few spots as they can crystal ball that if Heikki didnt punt him he woudl have finished higher up as well. The last thing the system needs is to introduce more subjective opinion....thats my opinion :D

JS seems more pre-occupied with Lewis cutting the chicane, with "Yes he gained a position..." seeming like an afterhought. Not the issue it was. He gave back the position, but my understanding is he was penalised because he gained an advantage. Harry got it in one re the constantina effect. He gaiend track position on Kimi....its all very line ball but i think on that ruling they are correct. Did he dive up under brakes courtesy of Kimi being too careful...yes. BUT, JT correctly pointed out...you hang arond the outside like that and if the move doesnt pay off....then you lose time on ....he gained time out of the situation...so. Thats it....fark it i am going to drink more of this horrible Indian wine

Adam... Lastly, and quite frankly, there isn't a damn thing you can do about it...

Thats the most frustrating part. Personally, I would if i could and i hope to God someone is doing something about it - funny that...

- as you said this, Mac was going through with the appeal.

Would you, Marco, prefer to see the standings remain as they are?

If so, why?

Well, isn't that the biggest difference between a part time-know-nothing-muppet hack and 3 time world champion if ever I've seen one!

( lol @ the cheapness of Roy and his wine...sif not drink aussie wine mang. )

Adam... If you want to start questioning JT on the basis you have, save yourself..

Yeah that's the thing... its good a 3xWDC has waded into the argument on OUR behalf then isnt it?

I have awesome respect for JYS, especially the way he stands up to max Mosley. I also would consider him very impartial and calls a spade a spade. However, it is fair to say that Jackie did race in a past era, I'm not saying that would in any way be any worse in terms of makign a judgement. However compare that to Trulli, he's in those things every second weekend, he knows first hand their braking power, their immense acceleration and I'm sure Jarno has been stung here and there by the stewards... Not taking anything away from Jackie, 3 times WDC is not something for someone to thumb their nose at, but his era of racing compared to the current one is rather irrelevent..

You know adam, you really should lay off the stewards in here unless you have tried the job yourself.

These guys are expected to stay on top of complex rules, teams cheating to the maximum extent possible without getting caught every day, being provided with mounds of meaningless data to support arguments, teams turning up with lawyers to hearings. And on top of all that they are not allowed to watch the races - they can only act on the reports of other judges and any supporting evidence supplied.

So....if you care so much about the sport, go and volunteer as a trainee steward at a local event. Do a couple and then come and report back on how it felt to walk in their shoes. IMHO its a real bastard of a job and no-one will ever appreciate the decisions you come to, especially at national and international level.

And for what its worth, it is self evident that LH would not have been that close to KR unless he cut the chicane. But I think that point has already been done to death.

And as I said in my original post on sunday night....well done to LH to outdrive KR in the wet - he did a great job in those last 2 laps.

Yes I suppose it is irrelevent. For a start the Stewart era didn't have any of the aids or protection that drivers have these days ........

Eh? Which one of the drivers has aids? :blink:

What everyone ignores is that the corner apex speed of the McLaren at that point was hugely superior to the Ferrari. If you watch the next lap after the overtake you will see Kimi maintaining speed with LH until a few corners later when his car snaps on him. There follows a series of spins etc ending with him in the wall. It is relevant simply because it indicates the paucity of grip the Ferrari had at that time of the race.

It was the better grip of the McLaren combined with the poor line Kimi took into the corner following the chicane that allowed Hamilton to get past. Remember Kimi ran into the back of Lewis at the apex of the corner so it was not as though he only just snuck by.

As for the argument about whose had track positioning into the chicane this reflects one of the fundmental changes in F1. In years past (& not too many at that) drivers would not run each other out of road simply because to do so would result in someone getting hurt. They can do it now however because of the replacement of walls & sandtraps with run off areas. They all do it & it detracts from the sport.

He couldn't stay behind Kimi because of the line the Ferrari took into the chicane.

he couldn't stay behind kimi because he was making a massive lunge from a long way back with nothing in reserve to allow himself to pull in behind should his move not be completed. so he cut the corner and but doing so gained track position. had their been a wall there he would not have been able to make that huge lunge under brakes. that is where he gained all the time.

I dunno. I don't reckon you get to make an overtaking move & have anything in reserve. It just doesn't work.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
