Seriously though, Webber losing a fcking wheel...

How bad is his pit team? They seriously do not want him at red bull anymore. It's blatantly obvious.

more tinfoil-hattery

seriously, shit just 'happens' in racing

This is formula 1 though!!! Wouldn't that piss you off?

sure would, if it was my team

despite everyone's best efforts though, trying to change all four wheels on a car in sub-3 seconds is bound to lead to issues occasionally no matter how much money you're spending

yep - there you go. Even if you remember nothing from the early days of Schumacher's career, its clear from the numbers alone that Vettel is doing it from a more dominant car in an era with a more generous points system. Schuey with less than half the number of pole positions scores more podiums, and the same number of wins but less championships.

it's 82 top three finishes from 103 races and 2 championships

vs 75 top three finishes from 103 races and 3 championships

almost 10% more top three finishes (9.33% to be precise)

Its a dodgy comparison. (If you ignore both driver's debut forcing their way into an F1 seat with a team fro a single GP, Schumacher with Jordan and Vettel with BMW) Schumacher started off with the 'best-of-the-midfield-teams', Benetton, sticking with them for 4 years as part of the team that took them from that 'best-of-the-midfield-teams' status to multiple Constructer's Champions. Vettel jumped ship from Torro Rosso after 2yrs into the Red Bull at the time it became not just competitive, but won over a third of the GPs, and was the dominant car by the end of the season. And he stayed put ever since in the dominant car.

Schumacher had won his two WDC's by his 69th race then took the bold decision to move to Ferrari, who were consistently below the level of the top 2 teams, despite having just won the last two consecutive WDC with Benetton, who retained the same Renault V10 and the same technical team headed by Brawn while Shumacher left on his own. So 30% of Schumacher's races at that point were in the building phase with Ferrari. You don't see Vettel doing anything like that! He stayed put with the winning team and kept racking up the stats. It would have been like Vettel jumping ship from Red Bull at the end of the 2010 season to Mercedes... where would his stats be now? lol

The why's and how's are irrelevant. Its the results that matter. Isnt that right schui fans!

That's all these schui queers ever hung their hat on. Ever seen those tshirts that these people wear with all his 'numbers' on the back? pole/wins/etc. You think half of them even know he won two titles in a Benetton? Negro please

Nobody cares how it was done, only that it was done at all. Now these same people are getting butthurt that Seb is going to start knocking off some of these numbers and claiming them for himself. And rightly so. The guy is pretty damn good, and so is his team.

Webber had the same car as Seb has had for the last 4 years? wheres his poles/wins/WDC's?! Fcuking. Nowhere.

I still don't think that Seb will be a 7 time champ, or even get to 91 wins, but what he has accomplished still stands as an extraordinary achievement, worthy of comparison with the best

I've always been a fan of Vettel. The debut with BMW was impressive, as were his wet performances with Torro Rosso, including their only GP win. He is very good, and it is nice he's matched Schuey's wins at this stage of their careers, even if he did have to stay with the dominant team for 4 years to do it. :P

SV himself has said himself he's all about racking up the stats and records. That clearly wasn't the way Schumacher went racing... everyone thought he was mad leaving the multiple championship winning team for Ferrari.

quick question - was this stat from before or after Malaysia? lol

Why's and How's do matter.

I would rather be considered the second best driver of all time like Schuey will be, than be remembered because I had the best equipment and I was the biggest prick.

They are both the same. Pricks with the best equipment. Most world champions are exactly that.*

Please note: This in no way excuses Vettool from being a pole smoking *%$#. Or Schumacher for that matter.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • 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.
