...I still hate that bloody finger

Even if Gonzo somehow miraculously wins all the remaining rounds this season, Sebby The Tool need only average little better than 6 points per race to take the crown. So expect to see said bloody finger again at least once more this season...

I'd like to think McLaren still have an outside chance at the constructors silverware; Assuming Marky Mark can help us out with a swag of additional DNF's and out-of-the-points finishes :D

Keep thinking that, the 120 odd point lead should be enough given everyone is happy to admit the tool will be towards the pointy end of every race from here on the WCC is as good as in the bag

Forgot how much car was in front of his feet and lost his front wing trying to pass Massa; Then he seemed to think he could maintain 100% pace on the way back to the pits, had a huge lock-up and ran through a gravel trap into a tecpro barrier.

It's the return of the old skool Webz!

wing got stuck under the front of his car as he braked for parabolica. he was already coasting but when he hit the picks for the only real corner the bits of wing folder under the car meaning no steering (hence going straight off)...

he was fking lucking not to get his clock cleaned by liutzi anyway, next man behind webber (rosberg) got the t-bone and webber escaped it by a bees dick.

seb is still a tool. he will never be one of the greats in my mind. he's barely fit to tie schumachers laces in my eyes.

and yeah was good to see the old never give up schuey back in action making hamiltons life hell. not sure what all the whinging about. he was perhaps a bit firm but it wasn't dirty of illegal. he just knows where to put his car at any given moment and doesn't fall for any of hamiltons bullshit.

like brundle said. schuey hasn't bought a dummy in years but he's sure sold a few...

and by that we all take it to mean Shooey 'Mr Omnipotent' ver 1.0, and not the current 'Old man mobile-roadblocker' ver 2.0 that slows peeps down every other weekend

got no business trying to claim a corner with your front wing alongside a rear wheel... you have to establish yourself alongide before you have any right to the inside line. That's just proper hard racing from Schumacher, and a half-arsed attempt by Hamilton.

MS was pretty hard but fair imo, always covered the inside, and waited until the last minute to get back on the racing line into the corner. Hamilton was never really in a position to pass with his lack of top speed anyway. Button passed the same Schumacher without too much hassle, Hamilton on the other hand couldn't get it done as easy.

Yeah I particularly liked the way he drove him straight off the road. Excellent race craft. Genius in fact.

fkn this

Seems Rosso B was disinclined to agree with you; Given he felt the need to broadcast 'Leave room at Ascari' before the stewards handed out a penalty

Old charlie might have had a quiet word to brawn before those msgs were broadcast, who knows. People seem to be coming round to the idea that Vettel is going to be a great driver, but I just can't see it at the moment. He's consistent, has a team built around him and has webber's bad luck to make him look good. But can he be that much better behind the wheel to wrap up the title with what, 5 races to go? Doubt it.

It's going to be another case like schumacher, he had the best team, and the best car, a team-mate who couldn't compete, and no small amount of talent, and the luck/ability to bend the rules to the point that most that remember him remember the driver and the controversy. And that combination lead to great success, but total dominance made it boring for a few years there. Hope we're not seeing the same with vettel. I'd much rather regular rule changes fking with the engineers and mixing things up than an established winner year after year.

I feel the need for an SAU special one-off SebVet 'finger' T-shirt for those attending the 2012 Melbourne GP.

^^^???

i was thinking of making one of two.

how about

go number two driver (with a pic of mark on it)

screw 1.3s bernie, rb20s for everyone.

go captain chin.

Hard to establish yourself alongside when the bloke infront is constantly moving around in the braking zones and taking "innovative" lines through the corners. Running out of revs half way along the straight probably doesnt help much either.

Wish Schumacher would just go away and let someone with a future have a go. Di Resta maybe?

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
