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

    • Absolutely could be. I collected data logs from when the O2 sensor was still out and also after I had replaced it so will try to compare them. Pretty confident that the affect is lowered with the new sensor, will check logs at the same RPMs/conditions. 
    • Hey guys Long time lurker, I daily a nm35 stagea 250t rs four and I've had it for almost 2 years (very reliable 👌). Issues or just looking for information ill always find myself here having a read, so thought id join.  3inch stainless intake, pod filter, AM performance turbo dump pipe, 3inch hotdog, 3 and half inch stainless to 3 and half inch AM performance blast pipes. Bc racing coilovers. 18inch rims Hdi intercooler and trans cooler soon.  Here's my car
    • thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price  
    • Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?
    • Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
