what a controversial race......webber was flying.....literally.....Ferrari got f**ked up by the safety cars....who let Hamilton in 2nd place through and held up the ferrari's 3rd and 4th.....hamilton got a drive through because of overtaking a safety car but the position loss for the ferrari's meant that the drive through wasnt justified as he didnt loose position......the ferrari's were looking strong for the race....and now we know for a fact that webber cant overtake

They say that Red Bull gives you wings but that was just ridiculous

I seem to recall several instances of Webber overtaking before. Kovalainen braked 80 metres earlier than he was supposed to. Naturally Webber wasn't expecting him to stop in front of him so early before the corner. I'm sure you're aware of how quickly F1 cars can stop, if the guy in front of you brakes when you don't expect him to you have no time to react. I'm not saying Webber didn't play a role in the crash, I would say drafting him that way was probably unnecessary given that he would have got past Kovalainen soon enough anyway, but he was racing. I'm not surprised he didn't expect Kovalainen to stop so far from the corner.

+1 for Kobayashi......what a solid drive.....driver of the race i reackon......he did something 53 laps on the tires that he started on.....and he was matching Hamilton's 1:39:xxx after lap 38 or so......thrashed tires and he was still getting the performance out of them

and 5 second penalties to the field that ignored the yellow flag!!! WTF

that 5 second penalty really did f**k all to the end result....it should have been out of the points for breaching the yellow flag rules and 5 spot grid penalty at the next GP

i know typical FIA...

"We are going to to punish them all for breaking the rules"

public "finally"

FIA "now boy's count to five........... done!!!"

well what an interesting end to the season.....last race and still 4 drivers in contention of the drivers title.....

well done to Mark Webber for an awesome drive this season. Well at least not blowing up engines like he used to with Williams :rolleyes: awesome drive throughout the season by Vettel....that man is destined for more championships in the future....Ferrari came out of pretty much no where to have Alonso fight for the title and only 3 places separated him from the title :P once again awesome season in F1 with a whole heap of thrills and spills....cant wait for next season with a whole heap of rule changes and different tire suppliers :blink:

Vettel thoroughly deserved the title too imo. Pity Ferrari fked Fernando's chances with the pit stop though... Got a feeling Luca won't be impressed at all!!

if Luca finds out whose fault it is they might not stay in the job for long lol.....ahh well you dont win or lose a championship in one race.....its what has happened throughout the year

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
