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.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
