I still have a major question mark over RBR with their tyre strategy.

When Button lit up the timing screens with fastest sector times RBR should have pulled in one of their two drivers to cover.

They claim that the car was working alright on the inters but seriously....

Button was lucky, I was surprised he went so well on the slicks. I've seen so many bugger up that call, and with more rain in the area it could have seriously bitten him on the arse. Nonetheless I would have thought as soon as someone sets a purple sector on slicks, you should call in both drivers, even queue them if necessary. Tyre stops are so quick now Webber might have been better off following Vettel into the lane. Better still would have been pitting a lap before ... :)

Watching the race again now, was at the track now I'm watching the broadcast. Just saw my favourite moment of the race - Lucas di Grassi in a Virgin carving up Der Weltmeister, in front of a banner proclaiming his imminent 8th title ...

If it bwasnt for Webs anf Homoton then it would have been a snorefest. Even with the variable weather. Schuey has some work to do

agreed. webber passed massa 3 bloody times! poor strategy and a few little fkups cost him any chance of a good finish.

Lewis showed amazing skill and judgement when he drove right up the ass of Alonso in was it Bahrain in 2008? To the point where everyone was screaming murder and Alonso had brake tested Lewis....only when Alonso said rubbish and pulled the data it showed that Lewis was jsut a retard who drove straight into the back of a car he was following on a straight, wasnt even under brakes. As others have said, driving into the back of a car in pitlane!

I love how people are attacking Webber. Two of the last WDCs drive into people all the time. Remember Kimi punting Force Indias and STRs for sport. The second move today was clumsy, but thats what happens when two cars lose mid corner speed and you lose front aero. I watched the ESPN coverage which has Alex Yoong and Gary Anderson...as opposed to the BBC coverage the commentary is nowhere near as biased...and they both claimed racing incident. They actually said the earlier braking dual was silly by Webber being on the inside slippery line and soudl have known to give up the fight in the interest of not compromising his overall race strategy . But the clash was a straight up racing incident. Gary Anderson actually said Webber had to run the risk of crowding himself with Alonso and Hamilton...two laps to go and everything to gain...hero or zero time and was just one of those things.

couldn't agree more. webber is no worse than any of the guys who get applauded for having the 'balls' to try the shifty moves. sometimes they pay off, sometimes they don't. I've never seen him do anything really bad though like vettel rear ending him that time in japan under safety car, or farking lewis driving into the back of alonso or the time kimi got nurfed sitting at the red light in pit lane...

yeah really it was hamilton who fked HIS move which then meant webber arrived there a bit hot with cars where he hadn't expected them, lost front downforce, had no chance of turning in and no where to go. and he came off the worse of the two as well...

Secondly, did Lewis stumble across a deamon front wing tweak after damaging it in that awesome overtaking manouver? Whats the best the McLaren aero guys kinda wandered off tto the back of the pits after Lewis was so quick with "damage".

I was thinking the same thing! the mac looked glued to the track with his front wing flapping around... hmm active aero anyone? deformable wing structure. it certainly wasn't costing him any pace. I thought for sure he'd have to pit to fix it when that big chunk flew off and it started flexing but it certainly didn't cost him... he might have to wipe bits of his wing off on other cars at every race.

Turns out Webber does have a redeeming feature; He's described Victoria as a 'nanny-state'

I know, I saw it in the SMH today. finally someone has the balls to say it like it is. I mean an F1 driver doing a little smoke show for the fans at the exit to an F1 track. really who gives a shit. does that really warrant confiscating the car (not like it affects lewis at all) and fining the bloke and f**king him around for a few hours? I don't think so. Surely there was some ACTUAL CRIMES being committed somewhere they could have been attending to in that time...

yeah the strategy was a bit lame. I knew webber was fked when they bought in vettel and made webs stay out another lap. still that's what you get for not taking pole mark. had he been in front he could have made the call.

am I the only one who thought it pretty good webber was able to pass massa etc. I'm surprised the RBR can pass anyone given how far down they are on straight line speed.

good to see webber get the fastest lap too. well done.

oh, and I cleaned up nicely on button. I put some dough on him at odds of 13:1. I thought at that money he was a good bet. still a very lucky result for him. sadly I had some cash on webber too, but my button win more than covers that lot. :)

come on now, the police are trying to promote safety. That maniac had no control of the vehicle while doing the burnout, it was all about everyone's safety... it has nothing to do with publicity or money, that hoon could have killed someone.

speed was a factor.

Hamilton clipped Massa (think it was Massa) when he passed him on the straight, hence the f**ked wing. Good judgement..

All in all a great recovery and result for Ferrari...Alonso did well to get back up to the pointy end after getting knocked to the back so early...

Bring on the next one

can't ask for much better than a 4-day week followed by back-to-back races with a XXL weekend :cool:

wonder what parts of Seb's car will explode/fall off/expire/forget their job description/etcetera for round 3?..

It seems like Massa is the forgotten driver at the moment, so much hype around Alonso I guess! Not a lot has been said about him, but I think he should hold his head high with two podiums in the first two races. Good luck to him.

And maybe "HRT" should give Garth Tander a drive. He might have a bit more success than Chandhok :down:

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
