he was only off the track because Hamilton forced him off...

if you squeeze someone that hard, you have to realise it comes with a risk of collision.

The whole situation was caused by Hamilton, who had no chance of hanging on to that position anyway.

Exactly.

Hamo's arrogance kicked in as usual - and Pasta did what he does best.

Hamo was going to be overtaken anyway, he knew this - so just give up, take the loss of position and don't miss out on any points.

His post-race kinda summed that up the way he avoided the question "i dont remember". cops arse he didn't. He remembered exactly and new he had a part to play regardless of who was "as fault" as determined by the stewards

No way.

Hamilton was brilliant there (I hate hammy). Shoved him off the track leaving zero room. You either yield and slot back in to overtake elsewhere or crash. Most drivers have the common sense not to crash... He only had 1.5ish laps to go? Sorry but if I was in Hamilton's shoes I would've done the same and defended like crazy.

don't the 2012 regs read that you must leave a car width available? Hamilton drove Maldenardo off the track, and Maldenardo hit him. IMO they both should get a penalty

I think the rule is along the lines of they are only allowed to move once to cover an attack, they cannot repeatadly attempt or something.

It was raised in i think Shanghai or KL

he can run him out of room on the exit, under braking is where the new rules stop people like schumacher chopping you off the track

Hamo did the right thing and pushed Pastor wide as he had the racing line, Pastor refused to accept the failed attempt and brain faded for a fourth time now, taking out Hamo and himself by hitting him in the rear of the coke bottle

What hamo was doing by keeping him behind is what called racing, what pastor did is called gp2

Pastor kept his foot in it, while off track, and had nowhere to rejoin BUT into the side of his opponents car. Total and utter balls up. Yet again

Is he far enough up the side for Hamo to leave him a car width? It kinda looks like he was.

If Maldonado didn't back out at the apex of the first turn then it was always going to end in tears when Hamo turned into the apex of the next corner.

the rules actually say "deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track is not permitted"

very harsh to penalise Maldonardo IMO. Penalise both or neither.

what was truly appalling was how Senna was penalised for the contact with KK

Agreed, was quite surprised to see him get a drive through for being driven into.

How did you feel about the defending that Rosberg did a few races ago (can't remember which track :blush: ) on the straight?

Hamilton had the racing line...Maldonado was never going to make that pass around the outside into that corner, so he should have yielded and set himself up for the next few corners.

He would've passed him no worries, but he got impatient and drove straight into him instead.

As Ivan stated, it's called racing. If there was 10 laps to go Hamilton would've more than likely let him passed without a fight as he would've lost time defending a position he was never going to keep, but with a lap and a half to go, any race worth their salary is going to defend hard.

i think this was covered slightly a bit back, but didnt anyone else notice the way that webber in his pre-race interview felt like he was swaying towards fezza team.

if he went number 2 there i beleive he would be taking a step backwards. number 1 driver or bust........

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • 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"
