Hamilton, Maldonado there sides of the story

pf1

(Maldonado)

Hamilton told his team it was "done deliberately", however, Maldonado insists that wasn't the case.

"It was a difficult moment, there was no reason from my side to have contact and from the side of Lewis," he told the BBC.

"It wasn't rainy conditions and we need to understand what happened. There was no need for contact after the chequered flag."

Pressed as to whether his coming together with Hamilton was deliberate, he said: "No, no, I don't."

(Hamilton)

The Williams was just sitting there, it was very slow. I had to try and get past, which I did

"He came around me, I didn't move anywhere, and he tried to swipe across me. I don't know if it was intentional.

"The front wing was quite badly damaged, the sidepod and I think front suspension was damaged, front toe-in was a little bit out."

He added: "Once the flag was out and the red light was on there is no need to be racing. There should never be an incident but unfortunately there was."

(end result)

the stewards believed Maldonado deserved more of the blame for the incident and have penalised him just five places on Sunday's grid.

Hamilton, though, did not escape entirely as he was given a reprimand.

"Well, obviously I would have wished for a different end to today's qualifying, but it is difficult to drive on three wheels - even if I should have the experience to do so in Spa.

"Seriously, this is certainly something that should not occur, but then this is also Formula One; we are working at the highest level but still things can happen.

"At first, I wasn't sure what had happened, as I just felt myself lose the back end suddenly which is why I instantly apologised to the team. But then I saw the wheel off the car and understood the reason why I had lost control.

"Trying to find the good in the bad, I'd probably say that I still have some fresh sets of tyres left, and that there is only one direction to go tomorrow: forward."

do you like my newer shorter post whoring posts?

Hamilton, Maldonado there sides of the story

Having only seen the one vid on youtube, how did Maldonardo get the harsher reprimand?

Lewis was the one ducking and weaving and looked to turn right into the Williams.

I know they were coming up to eau rouge, but if a car is beside you, generally you don't tune into it.

Anyone got other vids of the incident?

Snowie, they have layed concrete at Snowy corner. You are now good to go :)

And because I am a tragic with no life i often go back and watch this over and over...I came so close to holding the lil R400 flat :)

I havent experienced the birth of children, marriage, or much sex for that matter. so sadly, this is truly two of the most fun days of my life :)

100% Hamioltons fault. Moving over on the poor Williams driver...he didnt even have both hands on the steering wheel. Hamo should start from the back row...which puts Webz 2nd :)

i dunno about that. i've looked at both and straight out of the corner hamilton swerves across a little bit then backs out of it. then after that he keeps his steering wheel in pretty much the same spot when the accident occurs. if you watch the incar footage from hamilton you can see that his car stays parrallel to the grip markings the whole time before the crash (other than the initial swerve), while maldonado swerves over to the right hand grip positions then starts to come back across. i think they are both to blame, but maldonado more than hamilton. oh and i'm not much of a hamo fan, so no bias, just going off the footage.

The in-car is the damning footage for Maldonado imo. Hamilton does have a bit of a go as Maldonado pulls out from behind him,hence the reprimand, but then from the in-car Maldonado clearly comes straight across the front of him and continues across the front until he's pretty much on the opposite side of Hamo...

both at fault at monaco. maldonado should've been watching his mirrors and known that sir ramsalot was coming up the inside and to keep well clear. hamo should've realised that he wasn't going to make it and pulled out of it earlier

Mercedes have launched an investigation into the cause of Michael Schumacher's accident.

Team principal Ross Brawn said: "I'm disappointed for Michael because the conditions would have suited him perfectly.

"We need to look at exactly what happened, but it would appear there was something amiss with the right-rear wheel attachment.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
