Who would have though a Venezuelen pay driver would have brought Williams in from the wilderness. Senna is going to have to lift his game. As are Red Bull.

Just hope that fire is not going to cost Frank too much money. Anyway, looks like winning stuff is good for the share price:

5 place grid penalty for the Schu next round to confirm whose fault we all knew it was regarding the Senna incident

I don't know about the Schumacher penalty... Watching it at the time, I thought it was all Michael's fault, but this slo-mo shows Senna drifting right initially (there's a clear refence with the pit exit line). That led Schumacher to commit to the outside, then Senna jinks back to the left to cover that move. That's a second move to defend position in my books. But even if you don't agree on that, tell me the subsequent move to the right by Schumacher wasn't caused by Senna's sudden jink. Its all pretty clumsy, but I think a 5 spot penalty for Schumacher causing that crash is a bit harsh, when it was just a reaction to Senna moving back to the left on him and probably worried he was going to run him off the road. If Senna had kept going left, they probably still would have crashed because it was all too late...I just don't think you can put all the blame on Michael there - he wouldn't have made that move back to the right if it wasn't for Senna's sudden jink back towards him.

Senna only moved once to cover the move the again back to the racing line which apparently they outlawed that at the beginning of the year but every has been doing it all year so you can't blame him for the crash if they have any consistency.

Clumsy on Senna's part, but at MSC should have left himself more room so he takes at least 75% of the blame in my eyes.

MSC was whining about Senna braking and moving back to the racing line like it was a sin but there is no rule against that is there?

the sudden-ness of that Senna jink was not a "I'm just returning to the racing line now, ok?" That was a "get stuffed, you're not going that way" sort of move. He didn't go through with it, but turned out Schumacher bought the "dummy"

Yeh Schuey had a "I am confused moment" and ran into the back of Senna...easy to see how it happened with Senna moving around like he was...racing incident to me and doesn't deserve a penalty

Re the pay driver tag that Pastor has had to wear...as a rookied he did a knock up job alongside Rubens, he was impressive in Australia despite dropping it on the last lap...and he drove a damn solid race, strategy was good, out lap pace was waaaay better then Alonso and was still able to get the required life out of his tyres. So stoked that he got the job done....hopefully the tag of pay driver will be forgotten as he obviously has the ability....$10 the likes of Fisi and many others would have made mistakes .... seems like 2011's pay drivers Perez and Pastor actually have the goods

So stoked that he got the job done....hopefully the tag of pay driver will be forgotten as he obviously has the ability....

well that all depends on whether he can finish on the podium again this season...

Weber ploughed right up Kovalainen's arse in Valencia 2010 under similar circumstances with DRS open and a high closing speed, and a car in front braking early due to worn tyres. But no dummy jinks from the car in front, and Weber didn't even pull out to try and pass one way or the other. Just ran clean up his arse without even braking. Did he get a 5 grid spot penalty??? no... nothing at all...

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
