Looks like Massa won't take part in tomorrow's race, hope he has a speedy recovery.

warning, a bit graphic.

+1 to a speedy recovery. I think he's lucky to have got out of that one with his life

Felipe Massa's huge qualifying crash in Hungary was triggered when the spring from the third damper on Rubens Barrichello's Brawn came loose. It hit the F60 firstly just in front of the cockpit (right arrow - near the triangular engine cut-off sticker), before then striking the cockpit's side...

How did it bounce up to hit him like it did, when you watch the footage there isnt a car anywhere near him?

Apparantly he has a fractured skull?

Why couldnt this happen to lewis (oops did i just say that out aloud) :banana:

I'd prefer if it happening to YOU. :laugh::):)

Neil.

Good on Webz for stealing 2nd in the drivers championship :angry:

Was funny seeing Flav with briefcase in hand leaving the circuit with about 20-30 laps left and his 2nd driver in 12th spot....I think that says it all for NP career :)

I hope Massa has a speedy recovery...another of those 1 in a million accidents that reminded me of the Surtees one last week or so. After they slowed the footage down and you could see the part strike the car and driver, watching it in real time is scarey as it happens so fast you can't see the spring! It is never good to see a driver hurt like this but is a stark reminder of why you need to pull cars into the pits to rectify things like exhaust pipes hanging by a thread and dangling around on an F1 car...

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
