Enlightening. Massa is NOT HAPPY about what happened tonight.

Interesting point re: RBR - if preference goes to the one highest in the championship, what's going to happen now they're on equal points? I'm tipping it will be alphabetically by last name.

Have you also sat at Eau Rouge? I'd like to hear a comparison from someone who's seen both.

I'm not denying Turn 8 is a great corner, but I stand by my claim that Eau Rogue is more spectacular to watch and a bigger challenge for the drivers.

I think it used to be a challenge but not so much anymore, its massive incline is what makes it scary. Height variations have always been exciting to watch, laguna seca is one example

Dont underestimate how much turn 8 undulates. Tv does these things no justice.

I will go to Spa though. Not soon, but it will happen

Well if Horner and teams start crying to the FIA I would not be surprised if Alonso is stripped of points. The language used after the pass support it was a team order. Interesting times

As for incline...man i dont know, walking up Eau Rouge wears you out....driving through it doing about 190-200km/h is a buzz. I have never seen an F1 car go through there but GT1 cars were cool! And as cool as Eau Rouge is, Pouhon is a mighty corner and equally as cool to watch F1 cars go through

Oh man, i just realised it is 12 months tomorrow since i did the two days driving at Spa....FARK how the last 12 months have flown :(

oh...and that driver briefing was a tad embarrassing for Alonso and Massa

Well that was a terrible race. Why is it the ones that Ferrari wins are boring? :(

Loved seeing Massa's body language after the race. Boy was he pissed! Rightfully so, and his comments will obviously get the FIA digging deeper into the issue.

Webber's still ahead of vetool according to the FIA as he has more wins this season.

between flexible wings and team orders, looks like the old fuzz are back!

be very disappointed if a monetary penalty is enforced. They never deter the big spenders (unless it gets taken out of a spending cap type scenario in the future) and it sets a bad precedent. Why even bother having the rule?

That was as boring as bat shit. Massa is now offically Ferrari's bitch. I would be fuming if I had lost money on Sportsbet.

Is there any talk of alonso not getting the win?? caus i won the moaneyyyyyy!! and would like to keep it!

rumours are force india may be excluded for fitting the wrong tyres to their cars... for one lap... before they rectified it at their own expense

and here the fuzz are found guilty of cheating and this is what they get?

WMSC smashed mclaren in 08, we'll see if they have the same amount of balls in this case

Is it team orders when drivers are advised to hold station and not challenge their team mate?

On more than one occasion this year we have seen cryptic orders given to drivers from more than just Ferrari telling them that "their team mate is quicker" or time to "conserve fuel" when it seems they were pressing for position.

It is rife in F1 and it always will, the difference is Ferrari made it obvious this weekend.

It sucks but that is the game.

Spot on, it happens all the time, people are just having their usual whinge because it was Ferrari this time.

    • 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.
