Michael Schumacher 58

Mark Webber 58

Felipe Massa 55

Sebastien Buemi 52

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):

Timo Glock 14 (Canada)

Heikki Kovalainen 13 (the sphincter of the universe)

Pastor Maldonado 13 (Canada)

not bad considering nearly all of the 'times overtaken' for mark would be his typical 2 place start line fall back. and ok that takes out 2 'overtaking moves' since he invariably gets them back, but the fact that someone who qualifies as high as he does (typically 2nd - 4th) and still gets the overtakes done is now bad. obviously not a good measure of vettel since being in P1 the whole time means he only ever takes back markers to lap them.

interesting that hamilton only appears on the fewest times overtaken list. I guess that's because no one wants to go up alongside him for fear of getting nurfed. he really is showing his inner hack this year. button makes him look downright stupid.

Thats as weak as piss. All this talk about Massa blowing up and pushing Hamo around....he got off lightly, with Massa being a smart ass saying good job. I am not the worlds biggest Massa fan but good on him for speaking out...how many times has Hamo ran into him...hell the final corners at Silverstone were pretty disgraceful...didnt realise F1 was a bash em up derby :(

i can't help but think the whole animosity between hamilton and massa, and particularly the way hamilton's mere presence reduces massa into such anger his english becomes barely understandable, is down to the way hamilton won his WDC at massa's expense all due to glock going on holiday on the last lap of the last race of the year. poor massa was already over the line having done what he needed to do and rightly thought he'd won it. I can honestly not imagine how painful that must have been for him, and having to even look at hamilton must surely set him off. I'm sure he can't help but think if louise had not been born little massa would have a WDC...

no doubt any argument they ever have can be won by louise simply by asking.... "anyway massa, shut up for a minute, how many WDC do you have again? I have one. suck it monkey."

I do feel sorry for little massa but he's not doing himself any favours in the tool stakes either.

Seems to be mainly the Hamilton fan boys paying out on Massa, perhaps in an attempt to draw attention away from the fact that the Senna-esque over taking god more often than not completely f**ks it up. How many times now has he ruined other peoples races with his moves?

Massa was in 5th or 6th when it happened? I'm sure he would have lost the place to Hamilton eventually with the Mac being the 2nd best car out there, and while Hamilton got a drive through, he still completely ruined what would have been a decent points finish for Massa. The time it took to limp back to the pits and change the tire was more of a loss than the drive through he copped for causing it.

I've come around a little bit on Hamilton in the last few years, so I can't be accused of being one-eyed (I'm not even that big a fan of Massa), but I would've f**king dropped him after he repeatedly takes me out of strong points finishes time and time again.

And the fact that Hamilton said absolutely nothing shows that he knows he f**ked it up completely.

You would love to ask Hamo that. So Lewis "How do you feel about driving in F1 for another 2-3 years. You would have to conceded you have already peaked and spent the last few years in the wilderness...is your motivation still there to try and compete with all the quicker, younger guys?"

Very true, but the way Louis is driving, he will be a "One and done" kind of guy... with a "yeah, but" asterisk.

Sorta like Jaques Villeneuve.

As an aside, did it feel like Martin was making an excuse for Hamilton's crashes being from sitting too low in the car?

Couldn't help but notice that Alonso sits equally low...

Usual BBC apologists. The fact that they were questioning Kobayashis driving when Hamo turfed him in Spa etc. They are all running defense for Hamateur.

I am starting to actually feel a little sorry for Hamilton. Its painful watching a guy with that much talent being generally sh1t. :( He is being so sh1t at the moment he is making Button look like a god and fark knows I sure dont think that to be the case.

As for Massa, you think about how many times he has been barged out of the way by Alonso, Hamilton this year..I think credit to the guy for keeping his chin up. I want to see him come good with a few races...but I suspect he is having even more trouble then Mark with the tyres

yeah fk oath. as soon as hamilton nurfed massa we get fking DC and trundle crapping on about poor visibility... boo freakity hoo. give him a fking pair of phone books to sit on. every other fker drives the same impossibly shaped cars and manages to figure out where the extremities are. they for the most part can race hard without locking brakes and using other cars to slow down... but it's no surprise DC and Trundle are quick to hunt out the old excuse book for a fellow british driver...

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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"
