all those things are true, but it doesn't mean you can run another car off the road just because you want the points and refuse to accept that another car may have actually passed you.

Was Maldanado ever actually in front though?

don't have to "actually be in front" to deserve to be left some room. Right up alongside will do.

if you've just poked you wing in there, or its your front tyre up to their rear tyre then you've got no claim on the corner and should GTFO, but when you're fully alongside, you do have some entitlement to racing room.

maybe I should have said "...refuse to accept another car may actually be passing you..."

Just found this;

20.4 Manoeuvres liable to hinder other drivers, such as deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track or any other abnormal change of direction, are not permitted.

How they penalised Maldonado and not Ham has me beat.

edit. Kimi's bird isn't great looking in that pic but he has the richness covered well and truly.

I fail to see how anyone here can support pasta in that move.

ALL the good drivers shove the other off the track to overtake to ensure no chance of them coming back.

Here is pasta on Webber same race:

edit: Also my 2nd favourite driver is Kobayashi. The overtakes this guy makes and the good ol' wheel tap on the way through. Legend!

Really want to see him in a top car.

I don't support Maldonado's move by any means it was a dick move but rules are rules I'm just puzzled why they aren't consistant. If Webber and him crashed then they might have taken a look at it same as Rosberg got away with it in Bahrain because nobody got hit somehow. Also the lap previous Ham left a car width for Kimi and he should have done the same for Maldonado.

the fundamental difference in the above Maldonardo Weber pass is that by the time he runs Weber out of road, Weber only has a front tyre overlapping his rear. Hamilton ran Maldonardo off the road when they were fully alongside each other.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
