That is a ridiculous argument. So because it's Hamilton who loves to crash, massa should just let him through?

f**k that

no, because it's hamo who loves to crash into massa.

and not saying he should just let him through, but should excercise a bit of common sense. i knew there was going to be a crash before massa even started to turn in.

Yes because your mate Hamilton was trying a ridiculous move. I'll say it again, Massa HAD to turn into the corner or he was going off..... he was in front and completely entitled to turn in.

Spot on. Massa was penalized for Hamilton attempting a ridiculous move that he didn't pull out of quick enough.

It's that simple

From RBR;

In only it's third season on the calendar, Abu Dhabi already feels like a firm Formula One favourite. Especially with us at Red Bull Racing.

In 2010 it was, of course, the place where one of the most dramatic ends to a season played out. Going into the race, Sebastian had only an outside chance of winning the Drivers’ Championship – Fernando Alonso was in the box seat with 246 points, followed by Mark Webber with 238 and then Vettel with 231.

While Alonso and Ferrari’s eyes were on Mark, who they felt posed the biggest threat, Sebastian took full advantage to romp home first across the line. Alonso’s seventh-place finish, just ahead of Mark, wasn’t good enough and Seb took the title by just four championship points, to complete a memorable double title-winning season for Red Bull Racing.

Seb tops the list of those who have triumphed at the Yas Marina Circuit – having won both grands prix there to date. In 2009 he finished a place ahead of Mark for our fourth 1-2 of the season.

Being the most futuristic track on the calendar, and the sport's first twilight race, there’s always magic in the air when the teams go head-to-head in Abu Dhabi.

The track itself was designed with racing in mind. As well as the waterside marina area, there are high-speed sections, tight corners for overtaking, and even a twisty street circuit-style sector. Overall, its diverse elements come together to create one of the longest and most demanding tracks in the world, where close and competitive racing is guaranteed.

This is another anti-clockwise circuit and will put more strain on the driver’s neck muscles. There are 25 turns on its 5.554km lap. The race is 55 laps, a distance of 305.355km. Vettel's 2009 lap time of 1:40.279 is still the one to beat here.

Abu Dhabi is an oasis on the edge of the Rub Al Khali desert. From five-star luxury hotels on Yas island, to camel market in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi is full of contrasts. The largest and wealthiest of the United Arab Emirates, while it has retained many of its local traditions and charms, it's still progressive. Oh, and has great musical taste. Where else in the world would you get Britney Spears, The Cult and Sir Paul McCartney playing at a grand prix? Exactly.

Oh, that would explain why Alonso and Webber couldn't progress up the field after their pit stops.

Oxymoron?

Based on me not be retarded and actually knowing what I'm f**king talking about. Champ. ;)

Not to mention the fact that not turning into a corner results in one driving off the track.

For all the one eyed Hamilton fans, those that somehow can't see the blatantly obvious, answer this.

Is it ok to attempt ridiculous passing moves that will not stick WITHOUT the leading car, who is on the racing line, either slamming on his brakes and LETTING the following car through, or driving completely off the track?

To put it in simpler terms, is it ok for the following car to take a line that will not allow him to make the corner without T-boning the lead car?

:no:

Yeh, trying not to sound smart arse but unless you have driven on circuits at speed and know what is going on it can be hard to understand the dynamics at play. If you are pushing it and have taken a line for a corner then it can be fatal to even try to change that line.

To me defending Hamo is like trying to defend Webber when he took out Hamo at the Aus GP last year with a few laps to go. You can see how it happens, no real crime. Just sloppy driving. How the hell Massa got a penalty? Well thats where I get frustrated as all the sooking and sulking and playing victim seems to be paying off for Hamo. It seems if you drive like a tool often enough and gripe about being victimised then people will get gun shy. Fark him...lol but I think I have said that already :)

Bring back the Hamo of mid last year. He was racing hard with the occasional woopsie trying to be aggressive and his attitude seemed ot have transformed from early in his career. This year he has gone backwards, hell I prefer the arrogant Lewis to the sulking Lewis. I wonder how much of if really is his Mrs doing a runner....and no support network away from the track?

If you are pushing it and have taken a line for a corner then it can be fatal to even try to change that line.

absolutely, if you're not aware that someone's there and you've commited to the turn-in

but Massa knew Hamo was overtaking rapidly coming down the straight, so the argument's null and void in this instance

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • 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).
