he was only off the track because Hamilton forced him off...

if you squeeze someone that hard, you have to realise it comes with a risk of collision.

The whole situation was caused by Hamilton, who had no chance of hanging on to that position anyway.

Exactly.

Hamo's arrogance kicked in as usual - and Pasta did what he does best.

Hamo was going to be overtaken anyway, he knew this - so just give up, take the loss of position and don't miss out on any points.

His post-race kinda summed that up the way he avoided the question "i dont remember". cops arse he didn't. He remembered exactly and new he had a part to play regardless of who was "as fault" as determined by the stewards

No way.

Hamilton was brilliant there (I hate hammy). Shoved him off the track leaving zero room. You either yield and slot back in to overtake elsewhere or crash. Most drivers have the common sense not to crash... He only had 1.5ish laps to go? Sorry but if I was in Hamilton's shoes I would've done the same and defended like crazy.

don't the 2012 regs read that you must leave a car width available? Hamilton drove Maldenardo off the track, and Maldenardo hit him. IMO they both should get a penalty

I think the rule is along the lines of they are only allowed to move once to cover an attack, they cannot repeatadly attempt or something.

It was raised in i think Shanghai or KL

he can run him out of room on the exit, under braking is where the new rules stop people like schumacher chopping you off the track

Hamo did the right thing and pushed Pastor wide as he had the racing line, Pastor refused to accept the failed attempt and brain faded for a fourth time now, taking out Hamo and himself by hitting him in the rear of the coke bottle

What hamo was doing by keeping him behind is what called racing, what pastor did is called gp2

Pastor kept his foot in it, while off track, and had nowhere to rejoin BUT into the side of his opponents car. Total and utter balls up. Yet again

Is he far enough up the side for Hamo to leave him a car width? It kinda looks like he was.

If Maldonado didn't back out at the apex of the first turn then it was always going to end in tears when Hamo turned into the apex of the next corner.

the rules actually say "deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track is not permitted"

very harsh to penalise Maldonardo IMO. Penalise both or neither.

what was truly appalling was how Senna was penalised for the contact with KK

Agreed, was quite surprised to see him get a drive through for being driven into.

How did you feel about the defending that Rosberg did a few races ago (can't remember which track :blush: ) on the straight?

Hamilton had the racing line...Maldonado was never going to make that pass around the outside into that corner, so he should have yielded and set himself up for the next few corners.

He would've passed him no worries, but he got impatient and drove straight into him instead.

As Ivan stated, it's called racing. If there was 10 laps to go Hamilton would've more than likely let him passed without a fight as he would've lost time defending a position he was never going to keep, but with a lap and a half to go, any race worth their salary is going to defend hard.

i think this was covered slightly a bit back, but didnt anyone else notice the way that webber in his pre-race interview felt like he was swaying towards fezza team.

if he went number 2 there i beleive he would be taking a step backwards. number 1 driver or bust........

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
