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

Fernando Alonso has won it twice.

Lewis Hamilton once.

i think it's between the sob and this years world camp.

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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

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

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
