you never picked up on the 'is it because I'm black, yo?' thing being a tongue-in-cheek jest?

Vettel's leading because he's a great driver in this season's greatest car (Mark having the same equipment, but being (on balance) an inferior driver)

I'd be willing to bet Hamilton would be leading if he had a whip like the RB7 that was capable of being around half a second quicker in qualifying at pretty much every track

fixed that for ya

LOL your sig gives your fanboi status away though. Still, we all can dream :whistling:

dishonest?? hardly

he won the title in '08, so I'll assume you meant '07.

NOPE! 2008! So what if he won, I suppose you could call being handed a WDC a win. :) When Massa in a semi competitive Ferrari is your hardest competition, best not to around bragging about winning a thrown fight.

Hell, I had to overcome more adversity and competition trying to finger bang my next door neighbour back when I was 11!

So, um, how is Bruce these days?

haha, on current standings/form, I reckon Button's most likely to be leading if they "had a whip like the RB7"

Agreed, Button had 2 dnf's due to pit-crew failure and hydrolic failure and he still get back ahead of hamilton. And hamilton is no slouch, he is still a wdc and one of the few people in the field who can overtake, up until monza anyways (though this year he's been a bit less effective :s, ie: just hitting people)

Jenson Button 67

Michael Schumacher 58

Mark Webber 58

Felipe Massa 55

Sebastien Buemi 52

Fewest times overtaken (season):

Sebastian Vettel 4

Lewis Hamilton 16

Fernando Alonso 17

Mark Webber 17

Jenson Button 19

Most overtaking moves (single race):

Jenson Button 26 (Canada)

Mark Webber 15 (China)

Felipe Massa 13 (the sphincter of the universe)

Most times overtaken (single race):

you can attribute a large portion of Marks overtakes to him losing around 13 places from every start and then having a bunch of slower cars in front :laugh:

don't know if i'd say he has the same equipment. a few times he's had the older gear while vettel got the new stuff. and don't forget the few times where he has been told to back off when he has been catching vettel towards the end of the race.

and yeah, both webber's overtaking and being overtaken stats would be a lot better if he could launch the car well. wonder if you can bet on whether webber stuffs up the launch or not? probably pretty low odds though (wouldn't make much money). would get good odds on him getting a good launch, but you might as well set your money on fire, LOL.

Interesting, can't argue with that. I was more referring to years gone by. Hamilton tended to be less likely to get stuck behind someone than more timid drivers, at least that's how I remember it.

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
