lol, its not meant to be easy mate - he's not getting lapped.

I doubt it would have taken Schumacher in a McLaren 27 laps to pass Hamilton in a Mercedes... Schumacher made him look very ordinary. As did Jenson for that matter! And that's before we even mention the restart where the oldest bloke in the field caught the young star napping... Maybe Hamilton should hang up the gloves if he can't pass this old washed up bloke in less than 27 laps.

i think DRS at monza was a bit of a let down. the fact that so many people were sitting on the limiter it made it a bit of a useless assist (as proved by hamo).

was good to hear that the commentators are also sick of the tools finger

Interesting article, some more qualified views than ours on the controversy too.

bbc.co.uk/blogs/andrewbenson/2011/09/post_2.html

ahh schuey made that race exciting, hamo was just trying to finish for once.

we should all invest in a fast private Uk proxy... no more adds on one hd, and i'd like a hd looking stream :)

Yes, however was Jensen running a different 7th gear. He was clearly not on the rev limiter when he blew past Schuey.

Ahh shit, I am defending Lewis now. :yucky:

that's not defending Hamilton, it's pointing out one of his mistakes.

Can u actualy buy a stream to watch that doesnt lag etc etc. Id be keen.

Also they talk about "red button" on the set top

Box.

Or is onehd and shitty streams gna b my only go?

well we could get a decent proxy, and just watch it on bbc.co.uk/sport or wherever the link is.. tho i am not sure on the quality on there.

i usually watch streams online that dont lag ever, but the quality isnt 100% tho everything on screen is still readable.

one hd stream is just as bad as watching one hd.. would be good if some smarty could hack in and stea.... borrow the stream that one hd get..

yeah no one forced hamilton into whatever ratio he chose. just like everyone else it's a compromise between faster acceleration (good overall lap time) or higher top speed (great for passing and defending but not so good overall). and vettel made the same compromise work for him (got I hate saying that).

schuey V2 might not be what he was but he's still got some spark left.

and unlike vettel he didn't walk into the best car on the grid straight out of primary school. schuey built that team from nothing and then reaped rewards from his years of hard work. people might have gotten sick of ferrari pounding everyone and cheating like the little buggers they are but the fact is 'till schuey and brawn and company came along they had been no-where.

at that point no one could build a team like schuey/brawn/todt. and it kept on working for close enough to 10 years. lets not forget scheuy very nearly won his last WDC in his last year at ferrari to make it 8 WDC (apart from the 7 WDCs he was 3rd 3 times, and 2nd twice including that last year at Ferrari in 2006). So it's fair to say but for a few little fckups it's not hard to imagine he'd have been a 12 time world champion....

not bad for a german with a chin so big he can't see down to do up his own belts!

and I'm with harry, he schooled hamilton on how to race hard. he didn't put him in the wall or damage his car. yes he may have squeezed him a bit but as harry said hamilton was pretty cheeky to think he'd get down the inside there and with only his front wing and schueys rear tyres schuey had every right to shut the door. given how fast things happen when schuey decided to shut the door hamilton was probably still a bit behind him. things happen fast at 300km/h...

yeah no one forced hamilton into whatever ratio he chose. just like everyone else it's a compromise between faster acceleration (good overall lap time) or higher top speed (great for passing and defending but not so good overall). and vettel made the same compromise work for him (got I hate saying that).

Overwhelmingly it is the engineers who decide that stuff. Vettel went short on the ratios and he got away with it because of his qualifying. It did not affect his race. I still cant figure out how you can be into the limiter for so long and still spank everyone by 0.5 seconds.

Yeah, fair point. I mean who had heard of Ferrari before Schumacher came along. What had they ever achieved?

Schumacher did the same thing he has done any number of times. Doesn't make it right, however.

If he didnt put Hamilton into the wall it is only because Hamilton somehow gathered it all up on the grass at god only knows how many hundred km/h.

Anyway todays question should be who should MB sign to replace Schumacher. Preferably someone who can keep up with Rosberg.

Hamilton's problem with passing is just like Webber's problem with starting, so constant and reoccuring that it is obvious to all I would have thought. And Schumaker has been passed by everyone this season including by a couple of grid girls. Add those two together and it should be clear what the situation was at Monza with H trying to pass S.

easy. its like drag racing. its about your average speed down the straight. accelleration in the first half of the straight is better than in the second half because every mph you put on earlier is carried for a longer distance.

Hamilton's gearing was probably better for laptimes, and he was banking on being ahead of Vettel at the 1st turn thanks to starting on the clean side. Alonso ruined that plan.

Schumacher's gearing was probably based on him making a few spots on the start, as he usually does, and then being able to hold onto the positions by outdragging everyone - you've got to play to your strengths, and corners are not the Merc's strong suits.

And Schumaker has been passed by everyone this season including by a couple of grid girls.

he's not in the list of most overtaken, but he has done more than his fair share of passing. from cliptheapex...

Most overtaking moves (season):

Jenson Button 67

Michael Schumacher 59

Mark Webber 58

Felipe Massa 55

Sebastien Buemi 52

yes yes ferrari were a great team but they had not won a constructors title since 1982 when schuey came along and won with them in 1999 (though they got 2nd in his first 2 years no thanks to irvine).. and they had not had a driver of theirs win a drivers championship since the 70s (with lauda and schekter) ffs when schuey won it in 2000. so given 20 years of no ferrari driver having held a WDC I think it's fair to say scheuy was a big part of turning those guys around. Mclaren and williams (and briefly scheuy in his benneton) had been spanking ferraris for the whole of the 80s and 90s.

it's not even remotely like what happened to vettel. he walked into a team that had just hit it's straps with the most money, best car, good engine, best aero and a great stable development team (including webber) to push it onwards.

Yeah I was just shit stirring Baron. Ferrari was rubbish because it was so disorganised. They should have won atleast half of the WDC's between Scheckter & Schumacher. Not like they were lacking for anything.

Anyway on the upside Jody is busy these days:

    • 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.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
