when they cut to the shot of him talking to Horner on the pitwall straight after, I was sure he was about to start bawling.

cheer up emo kid, it's not like a DNF makes a difference to the championship for anyone

RBR making Webber look woeful. He had 3rd and a good chance at 2nd had they not stuffed his pitstop. After the delay in the stop he was quicker in the second stint. Button had a problem with KERS but Webber was quicker then everyone inc Hamo. If he didnt get dicked with track position he may have been able to use that pace, would have been a shoe in for 3rd and a possible second.

Admit that he was never going to win after the first two laps though, he needs to defend more like the Webber of old, rather than the 2011 Webebr where he things he will be patient and use car speed to get them back in a later phase

I disagree...Considering he was on the option while the rest of the front runners were on the prime, it made him look better...When they were all on the same tire, Massa had him covered....

Don't forget he's in the undisputed best car on the grid, and is regularly finishing behind Hamilton/Button/Alonso

Don't agree. Webber had a stop that cost him about 9 seconds, he came out about 8 seconds behind Massa and in 5-6 laps was on his and Buttons bum. In that period he was the quickest guy on the track. Webber was all over the backs of Massa and Button, just didnt have the straight line to get it done without being waaay aggressive.

Last stint, yes he was on the quicker tyre, but all mid stint he was on the same tyre and was quicker...just couldnt cleanly get by Massa and Button. Even in the first stint he seemed to be quicker but had to just sit back and preserve the tyre and fuel because Button had him covered as Webebr could only do the job in the first DRS zone and the McLaren had such a straight line advantage that he could sail by in the second, shorter DRS zone

Stop cost him 6 seconds really (9ish second stop from memory, good pitstop is about 3.4s)

I'm a fan of Webber, I really want him to win. But I'm afriad he's just not doing the job at the moment. Wether that is 100% his fault or not, I cant say (maybe the car is designed more for Vettel's style, these are the things we will never know)

Not really sure why He wasn't trying to outbrake Button at the end of the DRS zones but, Thought he would have tried to attack a bit more.

Hopefully the rumours about Kimi Raikkonen coming back to F1 turn out. I'm not sure how competitve he will be in a Willams but still be good to see him racing again, especially if he drives it like he did the MP4-20

It seems pretty clear that the RB does suit Vettel simply because he can pull away in the first few laps whereas Mark is a slow starter and then gets nowhere in traffic due to the RB's poor straight line speed and dirty air grip. The Mac for one is faster, the main reason they don't win more often is because they don't have Vettel who is clearly the best driver around.

button is good under brakes though. i think webber knew that if it came to a battle of the late brakers then button would win. no point binning a car trying to make the pass. he isn't massa or hamo.......

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
