perhaps they didn't consider people to be so lacking in ethics as to exploit them in that fashion

hence demonstrates the wide difference between obeying the law and the 'spirit' of the law (or rules, as the case may be)

if their gaming of the system last weekend gets Nando across the line for a drivers title this one, then the end, rightly or wrongly, will justify the means

and Ferrari will plaster Alonso's face up in every dealership and milk that marketing leverage like a muthabucker...

regardless of who wins, it was a great season

shame kimi and lewis didnt have a touch more luck to add the pressure on vettel and nando in the closing stages of the year

Has been good. Damned good.

I know every driver has things go wrong every season, but it really seems to me Lewis has had far more than his share of mechanical problems/take-downs this year.

By rights he should be right there with Sebvet and Gonzo as a WDC contender in the final race, if not with a bit of a lead even :(

C'est la vie

Well Coca-Cola have been trying to acquire Monster to boost their market share in energy drinks. There have been some talks between Mercedes and Coca-Cola the past 6 months and some that think that Coco-Cola be it with an acquired Monster or other brand may step up with some major branding/funding for Mercedes. Some have suggested it could be one of the reasons for Hamo jumping on board as it gives him a profile and brand to be associated with outside of motorsport

can't find. :(

It's two gig, but has the race, plus all the pre and post race bs.

What happened to Schuey?

Pretty much circulated going backwards all race with nary a whimper barring his chop on Button. The slippery track should have suited him. Is Mercedes the new Toyota?

They've sucked since Silverstone where the tyre variability dissapeared. The car is far too hard on its rear tyres, just like it has been for the previous 2 years. The fall apart tyres we had at the start of the season actually suited Mercedes because the tyres didn't last for anyone.

But a slippery dry track is very different to a wet track - track temp is still up, as is abrasion, so tyre wear is still there. Perhaps even more so than normal because turning the tyres out of the slow corners on the slippy track will hurt them more than normal. In qualy tyre wear doesn't come into it and Schuey once again hustled the car into a position it had no business being, just like he's done in the wet all season. But in the race, the tyres just got torn up. They were the only ones who had to stop twice. Conserving tyres has never been one of Schuey's strengths either, so it hurt him more than Rosberg.

    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
