Dont bother, just watch the highlights package

Watching the Alonso spin is worth a few views for the lulz. Between him and Louie they just dont know when to say when

I'd hardly put Alonso in the same category as Hamilton. Looked like a pure racing incident to me. Button had the inside line but that is the outside line being a chicane.

He didnt really have anywhere to go short of almost stopping mid corner imo, and the stewards seem to agree

fixed that for ya. it wasn't a 'spin'. He left room for Button. Button didn't return the favour and decided to use the 2011 McLaren tactic of "if you can't pass them, punt them" and barged into his rear tyre. Good thing they engineer the McLaren front A arms to be Lewis proof...

Schumacher had Webber lined up at turn 1 on one of the restarts but didn't punt him. Lucky there wasn't a WDC resting on it.

Very un-Schumacher-esque.

It was great to see Schuey actually looking like he should be there rather than looking like Rosberg's lapdog.

No he didnt. Button was there, alonso refused to yield

He was up the inside and alonso decided to turn in and bump wheels, unfortunately for nando, he came off second best.

Full crdit to schumacher for this, which is rare for me, but if it was button v schui, i dont think the cars would have touched.

I call that leaving room (which is yeilding - he certainly did not turn in on him) and being punted in the rear tyre.

a) Thankful I woke up after my alarm at 4 instead of 2 (although I did miss the Louis show :/ )

b) F1 + cotton wool = Montreal?

c) Awesome drive by Button

d) Definitely robbed of a great battle between Schumi and Webber, for a podium, on a tricky circuit, in tricky conditions by the poorly devised DRS.

good drive from webber today. And great to see vettel throw it away

:O and :D

I call that leaving room (which is yeilding - he certainly did not turn in on him) and being punted in the rear tyre.

I call it as alonso braking far too late into a corner in a vien attemp to hold a position that he had already lost

That picture is deceiving, Fernando has gone far too deep into the corner. The replay from the mercedes rear wing shows how late he had to brake to make the corner as well as the steering angle he cranked on to make it stick.

much like louie, to stubborn to admit defeat

Alonso braked very late yes, but made the corner no problem at all, while leaving room for the other car AND putting all but a car-length on him in the process! It's Button who didn't slow enough and couldn't make the corner without running into the other car. quite often the racing line is more slippery in the wet and that probably contributed to Jenson understeering into him. I don't think he hit him intentionally, those smart arse remarks were more putting shit on Louise.

I think the drivers need to man up and race in the rain. They are the best in the world (and paid that way too), i'm pretty sure the throttle goes both ways, if you're too scared (that's you vetool) you can always pull into the pits and retire.

The dumb thing is that the track get worse when the cars arn't circulating at speed

My take on the Alonso vs Button thing is it was a racing inceident with Button most at fault. Alonso was clever with hanging around the outside knowing that if he left Button enough room on the inside that he would not be able to get far enough alongside before the left hander and he would have been able to slow them both up at the apex to the left hander and Button would have not got past.

But in being clever and trying to apply some race craft he left himself exposed to being punted. I think the fact that Button is a clean racer he thought it was a minimal risk, however in teh slick conditions that car just got away from him and he punted Alonso. Would have been great racing if Button had of managed to just slow the car up a tad more.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
