Renault has an impact on every championship. Its hard for one of the manufacturers at the pointy end of the field not to have an impact on the championship. If their car is fast they have an impact, if their car is unreliable that has an impact. That's as it should be.

WHat shouldn't happen, and what I can't recall happening ever before is half the top ten getting wiped out in turn 1 due to one guy's ineptitude. Has nothing to do with other teams reliability issues.

Saying Vettel may have finished second anyway is a massive leap - if you actually read what your disagreeing with yopu'd know he failled to make the top10 in qualy, and his only podium in the previous 6 races came in the wet. RBR didn't have pace at that time of the season, particularly not at Spa. The cars with straightline speed did - Williams, Sauber, Force India, Ferrari, McLaren... Even Lotus were faster than Red Bull there. Vettel was going to at least have a very tough time making up those positions. In fact with their reknowned lack of top end speed, he'd have been lucky to pass anyone at Spa! Postulate on what might have happened as much as you like, the fact is Vettel's main rivals got taken out and Vettel was gifted a bunch of points while his rivals were deprived a chance of scoring any. That's what happened. Its sad that that incident looks like costing Alonso the championship. Vettel will deserve this one about as much as Hamilton deserved his. :P

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
