driver of the day goes to Massa for keeping it together even with all the sudden tyres changes etc and Vettel for really kicking everyone's ass in the rain. Goes to show, Vettel didn't just get lucky, he really does have some serious skills.

Will be great if Newey and the team can screw a good car together for next year. Forget Lewis., if Vettel can get himself in a decent car he will be a real class act for Lewis to compete against. I cant imagine how Rosberg must feel. He is young and already the forgotten young driver with yet another wave of guys who will be takign the seats that this time last year were being offere to him.

Heikki, time to man up and start requesting not to be the lap dog role asked for you. If you have any talent and dont want to be the new DC you need to fight the team orders like Alonso and Hamo did last year to try and seize your advantage. Being fuelled heavy every Q3 so that you never have the track position to use the car's pace....well. I am only just still giving you the benefit of the doubt :D

Glock must be the most hated driver right now, I'm sure the Brazilians all hate him, same goes for all the Italians........then the rest of the Ferrari fans around the world would probably like to string his limbs up to 4 horses and tear him apart like they do in the medival times.

Providing his helmet fits by the time next season comes around...

i'm sure they'll fit him for a larger helmet in the off season :)

now comes the depressing part- the wait 'til the first '09 race in March :D

if Glock had have come in for inters, Hamo would have finished where he did anyway, but as it stands, the deluge in the last 2 mins meant both Toyotas were massively off the pace

suck it up, tigers

timo yielded his position bit too easily imo.

however the last two laps, awesome nail biting stuff!

how does one yield when there's only a couple of corners left?.....any sensible driver would just block until the finishing line and on the wet track, drivers behind him would be equally careful.

well, bring on 09, hope we get more of this action. Haven't been this excited about a racec in a long time.

2009 changes everything. The whole McLaren better in the cold/wet | Ferrari better in hot and dry thing will be consigned to history, methinks.

The only thing that's safe to say about '09, is that the drivers that excell in the wet will be even further differentiated from the also-rans with the cars having less aero induced grip next year.

BRING THAT SHIT ON!

Lewis didn't have the best drive today, but he kept his cool. I mean shit how many of us having nothing to do with the race were biting our fingernails?

Karma for Ferarri tho, the other bs penalties that went on during the season against Lewis, but never against ferarri....

And to any Italians who had their heart ripped out this morning...

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
