Someone draft up a letter slandering one's coverage that we can all send in. Looking at you Ash.

lol if i wasnt sick as a dog atm, i probably would

although they sorted it out in the latter half.

Clearly spamming the first half of the race simply due to viewer numbers/advertising sales

I've recorded all those great racing hero's so if anyone needs a copy get in touch, or even better if anyone has a site that can be used to host the files so others can download that would be MUCH better

Great race, awesome win for button!! 2 dnf's in a row and still only 12 points behind hamilton. It's not all about overtaking lol, hamilton is good to watch though.

Also good to see the mclaren boys overtake eachother without incident, they do it all the time. RBR could really learn something from that.

Gotta say though, it's all tainted by vettel coming second. He's effectively increased his lead over the chasers. They all have to finish ahead of him for anyone to have a chance this season

So much hate for this years World Champion and Red Bull's No.1 driver...hahaha...

That's partly because noone likes to see someone walk away with the championship, esp after so many years of good fights!

I'm hell keen for that, let us know if you find a server

Was so good to see Homo spin the thing right in front of me. He and Webber looked right stupid going for the tyres they did....but 8/10 cars speeared off on the same corner Homo did when it came down... Webber got a bit greedy, then got bumb brushed by traffic. It was actually the second time in the race, he had closed up to 3.2sec off Vettel in the first stint then hit a gaggle of cars that meant he dropped 4 seconds in the one lap!

Was a good race....now off to the bar

Great race, loved how wayward the cars were for the opening laps. It had it all, plus two things I've never seen before- (a) Red-hot metal shrapnel blasting out the side of a cars bodywork and, (b) Someone pulling a hektic drift coming into the pit box o_0

With the next meeting at the super-awesomo Spa circuit, that'll mean we've had three great races in a row. Enjoy your summer break you rich biznitches.

i'm now in the shit because the missus picked up the remote, started changing channels and then said "you weren't watching that were you?" i replied with "apparently not. i'll just watch it on the internet" and she goes and gets all stroppy, yet when she's watching a show i can't even talk, let alone pick up the remote. but now she's rolled over and is pretending to go to sleep, but when i finally turn off the tv i will be expected to roll over and give her a cuddle because i'm somehow the baddy. she will be waiting for a while...

lol. good man. freeze her out!!!

'that's what I'm talking about'

Shut the f**k up you knob

I know. if I hear vettel say it again and show his finger I will snap it off and put it so far up his nose it'll come back with his brain skewered on it.

Booked tickets for Melbourne 2012, Brabham 4 Corners, Crown Promenade twin room with queen beds, Qantas flights all pretty reasonably priced bundled together.

you will love it mate and $1150 each is still very good price. flights during GP time are usually a bit exxy, hotels even more so and brabham tickets alone ate $600+ (guessing 4 corners maybe a bit cheaper) but yeah, you will have a great time. melb airport to city is pretty easy. cab or bus. about 40min or so.

just be aware the pit walk is usually 'pit straight' as in down the main straight on the track, not actually inside the pit lane (which is what it was years ago).

Fark Hamilton. No care for others.

agreed. I was surprised the commentators and others weren't as appaled as I was. it was a desperate dangerous move. I'm glad he finally got a penalty because he does shit like that all the time. no regard for others safety just desperate not to let his team mate pass him. like a spoilt child.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • 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
