I was so happy when Vettel's engine clocked off that I could have pee'd myself

The event was extra special due to what seemed like most the engine internals making a sparky dash for freedom via the bottom of the car :worship:

Webber did himself no favours today. A little bit guted for him...but perhaps a good thing as it will no doubt galvanise him for the remaining two races...and he still has the fastest car out there.

But he should have inherited a win today and bagged a 21 point lead in the championship. The important thing is he is till in front of vettel and you have to think with only 2 GPs to go RBR will be making sure Webber is ahead of Vettel getting max points to catch Alonso

If they don't get behind webber at this stage then they are really doing everything they possibly can to lose the drivers title.

RBR getting behind Webber makes the logical choice, but I seriously doubt they will. (which I think will cost them the drivers and constructors championship)

I get the feeling they will only support Webber when it is mathematically impossible for Vettel to win the cup.

Going by the number of races left, it will be too late.

Will be interesting. If you look back on the year, Mark has had some good fortune but he has made two costly mistakes with his back flip when he should have bagged some very good points and again yesterday, his mistake looping it.

But, if RBR want to win, Vettel is now 25 points off the WDC, and with two races to go, and Massa being so strong in Brazil then you have to think a podium in Brazil will be hard to come by with Hamo, Massa, Alonso and the RBR pilots fighting for a step. So, even if Vettel wins remaining two GPs that most likely wont be enough for him to win. If Mark has two strong finishes then he is a good chance of beating Alonso...especially if they can put Vettel between Mark and Alonso

Will be interesting....but great to see Button have to hold his hand up and say I suck and will not retain my title of pretty lucky guy to have won a WDC. It is easy to be critical of the guy, but he had such a car advantage early on in the season that when he had only one of the best 3 cars he struggled and now that we have seen him alongside Hamo we see that he cant drive a car that isnt perfect, finishing well below what the car is capable of.

We decided at the pub that he should change his name to Australias Mark Webber. Come on Australias! Channel 10s coverage sh1ts me to tears!

Oh...and RBR think the drivers have to do it on their own...they have one chance and that is Brazil, you have to think Massa is going to be a strong chance to win there and that means he will be moving over for Alonso so if its a Ferrari 1-2 then RBR could be licking their wounds well before the final lap of aAbu Dhabi

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • 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
