First, let me say I'm no Vettel fan, arrogant little prick. But I'm even less of a fan of Lewis, the boy with the silver spoon shoved up his arse. If I remember correctly the safety car was miles ahead, Lewis then accelerated towards the last corner and then decided he wanted to back the pack up (or play dirty tricks and try and give others penalties for overtaking), he pulled over to the right side of the track which forced Mark to almost stop on the left to avoid overtaking him. Vettel came to the scene with speed, I guess assuming they were accelerating for the restart and found an almost stationary Webber with no where to go (Lewis on the right).

He may have been the one that made contact but the person responsible for the whole sequence of events is one L.Hamilton. IIRC Vettel was balling his eyes out in the pit lane afterwards, I'm not sure if its because he blew his chances at his first podium (probably more likely) or that he took out the senior driver at the senior team who was on for the teams first win. I'm not sure who Webber blames, I seem to remember his relationship with Hamilton is less that friendly though?

Looks like Webber and DC had a blast at Redbull together. I'd love to see Button and Webber in the same team, looks like it was supposed to happen in 05/06 at Williams if it wasn't for the meddling FIA.

yeah summed up pretty well and for sure hamilton was the catalyst in that incident. I just hate vettel for the fact that he didn't avoid webber. webber managed to avoid hamilton's stupid arse, vettel should have been a bit more circumspect given the track conditions (rain).

and yeah I'm not sure hamilton and webber are great mates. which is unusual as webber seems to be pretty well liked by everyone. he seems to be pretty close with alonso for one who doesn't seem to make many other friends! he was head of the GPDA for a few years too.

I wonder if the rain light had something to do with it. I can imagine it'd be pretty effing hard to judge the distance and speed when your only good point of reference keeps flashing on and off. Wait, what the hell am I doing, making excuses for Vettel.... for shame.

He did hit Webber almost square up the arse though, didn't look like any kind of substantial effort was made to avoid him.

haha, its easy to make friends when you share a mutual dislike for someone.

Just looking back over some of the race summarys, I'd forgotten what a wild season 2007 was.

Christ, maybe I should have popped into Force India when I drove past Silverstone the other week, it may have got as many chins wagging as Kimi's recent visit to Williams. I think I am a better fit at FI than Kimi at Williams....still interesting to see if there are any developments in the Kimi-F1 side of things

Fatso is going to have to get back into shape before he even starts thinking about a move back to F1

Love to see where he ends up. Redbull would be a perfect fit for him. Cant see him going back Mclaren because their driver line up is pretty excellent for the foreseeable future. Doubt he'll go back to the fuzz with gonzo there. That guy is like a cancer in any team he's been a part of and kimi isnt that stupid

The talk is that is the point of any seat, even a Williams for 2012. Get bum in seat, get his eye in. Get used to tyres, gadgets of the current spec car and then with Massa, Schuey and Webber all off contract at end of 2012...we will also know where Kubica is at. He is only 31.

Woudl be interesting to see if Red Bull again turn their back to the Jr drivers who they have helped develop for the sake of being able to have two WDC in their team, ie McLaren

      Starting again

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
