Crashed was an understatement, why would you push that hard on the last lap when he had no hope of catching button. "oh i was going to catch button and use my KERS to get past him on the finish line, just like in the movies"

Also why wasn't he classified as DNF?

Edited by PHaT MR30

I think it's because he was in 3rd place at the time of the accident and he would be the last driver on the lead lap at the end of the race. But still I don't know why he was pushing so hard on the last lap.

Poor Webber, first retirement of the season but it does takes take a big hit on the championship. I'm still watching what's going to happen at Brawn over the last 4 races...will team orders come into play or will Ross Brawn let them slug it out for the championship

On a side note...I can't take Kimi seriously with that shaggy long hair of his...just doesn't suit him.

team orders for Brawn would be to slug it out...after the Renault thing I don't think it would be wise for any team to ask a driver to move aside if the other driver was a legitimate candidate for the WDC.

At the end of the day I don't think Brawn would care who won as long as it was one of their drivers and if they fight it out to the death they're looking at a 1-2 finish in the WDC too.

Honda must be spewing :P

If Honda was still there...then the team wouldn't be where it was - the Honda engine apparently wasn't all that powerful. I remember Ross Brawn saying that the chassis was really good but the he needed a better engine package

I predict the current season will be the high point in Webbers career, with him finishing 2nd or 3rd in the WDC

actually, scrap that; He's on for 3rd or 4th, assuming he doesn't get taken out by n00bs in the opening corners of the remaining races or any reciprocating engine components deciding they want to see what fresh air feels like

Fark hamilton what is going on man! Got a bet on with a mte he will beat kimi on pts this year, i dont want to be paying up either

Im off to the next race in singaopre, hopefully a better result there. Fingers crossed either hamo or webber can win fuhck teh brauns!

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
