Webs hasn't done too badly overall. If it weren't for his 5-place demotion he would've been sitting pretty. Decent result today for him I think.

Let's hope our other fellow Aussies can deliver an even better result in an hour's time... go the Socceroos!

agree, seems a bit strange to swap the gearbox out after he posts great times in the quali...

he's in 4th now. I don't know id he can keep the pace up for the rest of the season... I really hope he does

Great race, very exciting. All it was missing was a Hamilton crash and a pussy cat doll jumping up and down in a tight dress...

Yeh, i think Webber was holding on as long as posible knowing he had the option to switch to and needed to amke that stint as short as possible. I think there were hoping that the others had to pit.

But the interesting thing was Vettels problem, Webber with fresher tyres seemed to button it off to hold the gap so eith erhad asimialr problem to Vettel or was told ot hold station. The last few laps of Vettel were 3-5 seconds off the pace and Webber should have had him.... :( Would have put him a closer 3rd to Button.

So well done to McLaren, they are hanging around and now have got the car pace. Can RBR respond? I dont think they will have a chance at Silverston based on the Macs new found speed

How's Vetools radio

"Whats the fastest time of the race?"

Mate you have an ailing car and are in 4th place,

good to see you thinking of yourself and not the team...

Oh wait, that is always the case....

Yep.

Agreed, it was a good race, the 70 laps went quickly.

Pretty good result for the scuderia, been a while since they were on the podium this year right?

probably doesn't want engine to blow, whatever the problem is they'll fix it so no penalty come next race. Probably run fresh engine/gearbox in next race without penalty.

Agree,

What penalty will be handed out for Kubes last sec cut entry to pit lane?

Hammo - Nice drive, as much as I hate to admit it, gotta be gracious in defeat. Mac did the deal, 2 races in a row... On this form they might well take the double this year if RBR don't get their shit together.

Jens - As above.

Nando - Nice to see him up the pointy end again, giving no quarter as usual.

Vet - Not bad, kept a pretty steady ship.. Just me or is he a hard f*cker on the car??

Mark - RBR duped him bad, should've pitted 5 laps prior...

MSC - WTF!!?!?!?! Dude... Get you're sh1t together, how many chicanes you want to cut?? But nice door shutting tho! Reminiscent of Sept 1939.. :(

Koob - Should be replacing Massa at teh Fez. That pit-lane entry though does deserve a reprimand, it was potentially very dangerous..

Strong showings from Toro Rossa and Force India.

Best race of the season fo shizz... Schumy to get a bit of a smack on the bum for some of those precarious moves... Grid penalty next race I reckon. Why no investigation on Hammo for unsafe release??? I think it was pretty borderline, should have at least been investigated...

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
