Hamilton must have changed his undies post race after running wide onto the gravel and kissing the wall but he had control of the race so no harm done.

I had massive Caterham flash-backs! LOL

That was the same corner (and same outcome) as I had on my visit there! :P

I read on planet f1 that Horner blamaed Button for breaking early

lol. love it. poor ze-tool. no doubt he came back to the pits for lots of hugs and a cup of cocoa. definitely not his fault. button was braking early (how dare he be cautious into a wet corner that had just caught a whole bunch of drivers out), and then there's the bumps. poor seb. it was only his amazing skill that saved him from ending up on his lid. all that sawing at the wheel under brakes must have helped steady the car.

Sarcasm win.

Watching the replay of the race last night....i ave to echo Davidsons thoughts about tracks these days....with so much concrete run off bad driving is not being penalised. Looking at the end of the first lap, , Hamilton, Button, Vettel, Kubica all went off. Webber stayed on track, ALonso, Rubens etc all went off...there should be a big gravel trap there....you should not have a 20mtrs tour off the circuit in a kink and not suffer a loss of time. Looking at the replay, Webber took the kerb normally and lost time to all those ahead who cut the kerb!

yep, I agree too. the new boys like hamilton and vettel know there is no consequence to little fark ups so they can push hard and when they overstep the mark it's nothing more than a run wide and some pick-up on the tyres. more 'old school' drivers like webber are used to the days where if you came off the track 9 out of 10 times you stayed off the track either in a wall or gravel trap so naturally they drive differently and are being disadvantaged a little.

so yes they should change it. but can they hold off on changing spa till AFTER we've driven there next month? hacks like me need these massive concrete run-offs. it's how i cut my sick laps. otherwise it's into the wall I go....

Yeah, I childishly voiced the hope that the entire field would be penalised and give Webber the victory! But if he'd followed them and made places, he could well have been punished.

I agree that the modern tendency to pave a paddock's width either side of the track does allow drivers to get away with mistakes. But the alternative is to have a safety car every time someone goes off. Well, perhaps not every time, but gravel traps = more SC.

Agreed it's stupid. I saw that and straight away thought they should have been penalised. They may not have 'gained an advantage' but they certainly didn't lose out, and they didn't follow the track

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
