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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
