How the hell was than not vettels fault? I only saw it once, but it looked clear that vettel cut in too soon and paid the price. stop whinging ya farkin sook. At least button's man enough to admit he screwed up.

Any links and help to setup?

LOLOLOLOLOL

Interesting season ahead.

Perez should have won.

Damn team played him twice. No pit and wrecked his flow on the radio.

It didnt work too well for me thru out the race, p1-p3 and qualifying + the 30 to hour before the starts were fine to watch tho.

Are you on racingfor.me?? theres a thread with few bits to the program to get it to work. but its really just giving you the streams that are avaliable on the web, since most of them are just whored all over the web and each website has pretty much the same links come race time.

In this thread you will have a few options and quiet often a decent link to a stream thats working. someone recently posted a hdtv thing i am yet to try since im using a mac

Going to need to work something out soon so i can just stream skysports.. i dont mind if i have to pay for it really. but another 5 years of trying to watch it on one is going to be shithouse..

most of us would be members i'd think...

there is also something else you can look into.

i did try that hdtv player just now and it seems ok, pretty much like foxtel with every channel possible.. i ran it on bootcamp for mac (windows partition) and it threw up a few virus things, but since i dont really use windows for anything important i wasnt bothered. probably a false virus thing anyway..

bit of a harsh penalty i think but HRT should take him out every race, worth a 20sec penalty for us to loose the tool

It beats me what footage the stewards had of the contact.

the camera angle is deceptive. From the rear it looked like SV cuts across on him, from the front that's clearly not what happened.

the camera angle is deceptive. From the rear it looked like SV cuts across on him, from the front that's clearly not what happened.

I found a link and I have to agree that looking at it from other angles, Karthikeyan moves over. SV was slightly squeezing him on the exit and could have moved back to the right of the track.

Just watched a few vids of the incident, both on-board and front/rear views... I still think Vettel could have easily got passed him without incident.

As you exit that right hander, you immediately aim towards the right of the track to set up for the left, which is what Karthikeyan was doing. If he had have continued straight he would've been off the track.

I agree back markers should do everything to get out of the way when being lapped, especially when they're not fighting for position with any other back markers, but in this case it's not that simple given the series of corners it happened in. Karthikeyan had just been lapped by someone else mid-turn, and would have been lucky to see Vettel coming up behind him immediately after.

The penalty doesn't really matter too much in the scheme of things, but in reality Vettel had a shit load of room to the right that he could have been in, instead of leaving nothing more than a car width on a track where a wheel outside the line could end the other guys race..

you say yourself he left a car width. how much more do you want for a bloke 3 laps down?

there's no rush to get back over to the other side of the track, but even if there was, you don't move over if there's another car still alongside you! pretty simple. and that's not what Karthikeyan was doing anyway, he just tucked in behind Vettel, and even went left again after that. He was still mid track by the braking zone, and not because he was being squeezed...

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
