have you watched this video?

schumacher basically did the F1 version of this at monaco

this is what a 7 times world champ is prepared to do to further his own cause

links to Schumacher faking serious injury, stopping competitors out of sheer worry for him in light of a recent death of a high profile rider on the track, and continuing the charade to the point the ambos stretcher him away?

yes, that's "basically" what Schumacher did alright.

its similar only in the extent that they both wanted to stop the proceedings for personal gain. In every other particular they differ entirely. Schumacher's car stalled when he locked up coming into a corner. He was penalised for unsporting conduct for the split-moment decision to park the car on the racing line to interupt the session rather than stay out of the way.

if Schumacher's incident was so bad, you wouldn't have felt the need to dredge up an obscure video of a bike rider pretending to be seriously hurt to make him appear worse...

oh... both wanted to stop the proceedings for personal gain... is that all? Just a minor footnote in the story then

That we're all ok with?

Clearly they are two separate events in physical appearance, as schumacher has four wheels, and if you look closely, this particular scumbag is only racing on two. Nor is it Monaco if you want to get pedantic about it

The motive, the willingness and sheer lack of sportsmanship is the issue

or manipulate others into fearing for his safety

or cause the ambos to rush to his assistance

or decide to do it after some time thinking about it while trying to get going again - it was a spur of the moment decision when his car konked out to park it on the racing line instead of the inside of the corner where he was. Once that was done there was no taking it back. Old mate on the bike consciously decided to fake it after some time tryign to pick the bike up. Very different things - spontaneous versus calculated.

yes, it was a @#$% act, but all he did was park his car in the most inconvenient spot, not decide to act like he'd been nearly killed, and keep the act up even when the ambos are carting him off! Its obviously not in the same league.

anyway, I'm hoping against hope Mercedes drop Rosberg who is on recent form the worse performing of their drivers, and we see Hamilton and Schuey go head to head next season in the same machinery. There will be tears! Even if token turns out to be faster I reckon the german will reduce his whining arse to tears at some stage during the season lol

Brawn and Schumacher go way back.

Car still needs development - no doubt Schumacher has more experience workign with a team to make a crap car better.

Rosberg is simply not turning out to be the world beater people hoped for.

Its an outside chance, but maybe Schuey isn't done yet...

His car did not konk out, he simply parked it in the most inconvenient spot in a premeditated attempt to shaft the entire field

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcRUM2w2CVY

That is almost the dictionary definition of cheating

So is faking an injury after an accidental crash worse than intentionally making a mockery of the worlds most prestigious motorsport event?

In my opinion what schumacher did was much worse

In my opinion, I love that something Schumacher the ruthless did 6yrs ago still butt-hurts his haters.

He tried to stooge Alonso out of pole in qualifying and got dumped to the back of the field for it. At the end of the day, it didn't hurt anyone but himself. Alonso still started from pole. What's to be so mad about all these years later?

That Saturday saw the worst of Schumacher, and Sunday showed the best - coming from last (not even on the grid, but in pit-lane) to finish 5th, battling for 4th right at the end, on a track notorious for being impossible to overtake.

Edited by hrd-hr30

I don't think anybody is upset that he did it, its more that it vindicates popular opinion

Nobody will remember he took 5th that year, only that he displayed the most unsportsmanlike like behavior in the sport for years

The only thing that topped that was some other guy trying to kill Rubens in Hungary not long ago. Don't know where he finished in the race though

it's true.

Sergio Perez gets Lewis Hamilton's McLaren seat

Lewis Hamilton's switch to Mercedes has been confirmed after McLaren announced that Sergio Perez is joining its squad for 2013.

Ahead of an official announcement from Mercedes about its driver line-up plans, McLaren ended weeks of speculation about Hamilton's plans with the Perez swoop.

Perez joins McLaren after two seasons in Formula 1 with Sauber, and a campaign where he has delivered three podium finishes so far, having come close to victory in the Malaysian Grand Prix.

The Mexican had been most strongly linked to a future at Ferrari, as part of its young driver programme, but its president Luca di Montezemolo said several times that he did not think the youngster was experienced enough for a team like Ferrari.

McLaren obviously feels differently, and believes that it can harness Perez's talent to fight for the world championship alongside Jenson Button in 2013.

Speaking about the multi-year agreement McLaren has signed with Perez, team principal Martin Whitmarsh said: "It was a string of giantkilling performances, a trio of podiums and a brilliant fastest lap in this year's Monaco Grand Prix that showed us that Sergio lacks nothing in terms of speed and commitment.

"We've been monitoring his progress carefully for some months - and, now that he's become part of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team, our task will be to refine and develop his abilities as his career progresses over the coming years.

"Uniting Sergio alongside Jenson will give us a very broad base of driver ability. Jenson is one of motorsport's greatest ambassadors, and his unique blend of prodigious speed and canny racecraft makes him formidably well-armed to fight for victory on any grand prix circuit in the world.

"While Sergio is still developing his palette of skills, we're convinced that he's not only talented and quick, but also that he's willing and eager to learn.

"He's perfectly poised to develop into a world championship challenger. His addition to the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team provides us with the perfect two-pronged driver line-up for the new season."

Perez added: "I'm thrilled and delighted to have become a Vodafone McLaren Mercedes driver.

"The McLaren name is one of the greatest in the history of Formula 1. For more than 40 years, McLaren has been a team that every racing driver has aspired to drive for - I was brought up on the great stories of Ayrton Senna's many world championship triumphs for McLaren - and I'm truly honoured that they've chosen me to partner Jenson from 2013 onwards."

Harry... I am betting you were big at high school debates back in the day :)

I so hope Perez hands it to Hamo GP after GP....but good on Hamo for taking the plunge. I respect him for leaving McLaren for a team that has done nothing in its 10-14 whatever years in F1 except steal a 4-6 GP advantage with Button at the wheel.

Surprised it was Perez who McLaren signed....I thought the sponsorship clash would have pushed one of the FI drivers into the fold. I take it this means that Vodafone will be dropping their Mac sponsorship as some rumours have suggested earlier in the year and Mac will pic up Perez's telecom sponsorship

I also assume that jaime alguersuari will step up for the Sauber drive. You read it here first :)

..I will also add that Lewis best start getting to know JV as he will be able to tech him a thing or two about leaving a top team after winning one WDC and spending the rest of your career eating d1ck in the midfield

    • 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"
