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........

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
