...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...

"Seb, kiss my shoes?"

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.

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?

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
