Yep

Sounds like nothing more than the stewards defending their bad call.

What he's basically saying is that any driver coming from behind can drive up the inside, with no chance of making the corner, and the lead car who is on the racing line either has to stop and let him through, or drive right off the track so that he doesn't get t boned.

Yeah just ignore the fact that Herbert had vastly more information to hand than DC.

Not that it mattered anyway. Massa has another bollard off the track he was forced to go and smash his suspension on. Guessing that was Hamiltons fault to.

Massa is, in a way, lucky that Hamilton keeps running into him. Serves to divert attention from his profoundly ordinary performance all year.

Quote from another forum;

No team that views itself in contention is going to wait until the end of the season to seat their drivers unless they are moving to a guy with tons of experience - like Alonso.

Renault made some very screwy decisions this year. Letting Heidfeld go just didn't make any sense.

Here is your fun fact for the day: Even though he was dropped half way through the season (after round 11), Heidfeld is still TENTH in the driver's standings with 34 points - only 2 points below his teammate who has had the benefit of all 17 races.

Heidfeld's replacement has scored a grand total of 2 points in 6 races.

All this conveniently ignores the fact that the Renault was massively more competitive in the first half of the season than the second. Heidfeld wouldnt have been dumped if he was doing the job. He wasnt so Renault moved on.

Weather LH would have made the corner (probably, seeing as he never locked a wheel) is open for debate, and I'm not really looking to perpetuate the argument but it's good food for thought nonetheless; With regards to overtaking manouevers in braking zones, roughly what % of them are conducted with the driver looking to pass being 'on the racing line'?

hmmm...

Weather? Whether?

How far up the inside the overtaking car needs to be is the most boring argument in motorsport.

As for the percentage question it is exactly zero.

yeah, whether

and Hamilton was far enough alongside, that much you can see at least

the crux of the 'Hamo was wrong' view seems to be the assumptions that a) Lewis wasn't making the apex AND/OR b) Massa needed to drive across the apex to make the turn

neither of which points we keyboard-kommentors can prove/disprove

p.s I figured the percentage would be somewhere in that range ;)

Button: Enough with the Lewis questions.

Asked about Hamilton's latest row with Massa, Button replied: "I don't give a f***" "If you want to do an interview with me, about me- that's fine. But I don't want to be asked about Lewis again. It's doing my head in."
:rofl:

the main point is there are places that are passing opportunities and corners that just aren't. That was one of the latter. Its a one line corner and the guy on the outside at racing speed has to take the racing line to make that corner - having a half-arsed look up the inside there is destined to end exactly the way it did.

it would be like someone having half a car up alongside another going into Skyline at Bathurst - you just can't make that work

having a half-arsed look up the inside there is destined to end exactly the way it did.

esp. when the driver defending the line has a seething hatred of the attacking driver for 'stealing' his only title chance

ah Flav- everyone's favorite Jabba the Hutt lookin' race-fixer

He is my man of the century. Does what he wants. Seems he does who he wants...all whilst being a slob of an old man with all the cash in the world. He is my HERO!

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • 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).
    • 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.
    • 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
    • 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)
