Perez was taking the pi55...so far back and just lunging at the apex. How many times did he have to take to the run off, let alone force the other guy wide?

Romain pork chopped it again last night? But at least he was close enough to Dan to take alunge as he was right there....just messed it up. Perez was just sailing up the inside knowing others woudl jump out of the way rather than be punted. He had several goes at Kimi so good on Kimi for cruising up to the apex

how many times did Perez take the run off while trying to pass? once that I recall on Kimi. End result - no harm, no foul. Big deal. Monaco is an exceptionally difficult place to pass... lol at "just lunging for the apex" - hitting the apex isn't exactly bungling it all up! And any pass under brakes is a big lunge anyway...

Perez made good clean passes on Alonso and Button there, fully alongside under brakes and made the turn no problem, as did Button on Perez. The second attempt on Kimi wasn't going to work anyway - he wasn't far enough up alongside. Kimi didn't need to run him into the wall in the braking area. Kimi wasn't turning into the apex, he was just squeezing Perez into the wall. I guess Kimi wanted Perez to evaporate into thin air or something, because when you're fully committed & braking on the limit you can't stop any harder if the other guy fails to leave a car width in the braking zone. That was Kimi being a douche, not Perez.

Perez wasnt far enough up the side for Kimi to be required to give him room. In this case you are allowed to take the racing line. Perez knows this and should not have been trying to push into a gap that was forever going to close

Perez's move on Alonso was borderline but I think they got it right. All Perez's other moves werent. The move on Button, while legal etc, was stupid from a team perspective. He was driving the track like it was Bahrain, not Monaco. McLaren need to rain him in a bit I think

perez is on a mission to prove a point that he's better than Button.

well not anymore after last nights performance.

a well deserved last place for the stunt you pulled on Kimi ya idiot.

although his pass on Button, was good, but i still hate him.

kimi to stay at Lotus for 2014, kick out grosjean and take in Webber.

Grosjean to....

massa to.....

maybe they just go to GT racing like kobyashi

lol

Massa's crash was a technical failure, not a driver error...

that's nowhere near the racing line! Once he's committed, he can't stop any harder. Leaving no room for a car between you and the wall is only going to end in a collision. Perez can't evaporate into thin air. You can't run somone off the road in a braking area if there is an overlap.

Even so, there was no need for him to have another go after the chicane.

While I cant say it was smart for Kimi to turn in as hard as he did, I dont think he is to blame. Perez was trying the same move he pulled off on Button, from way to far back.

It all just means the closest contender to Vettel has just lost alot of ground in the WC. Lucky Vettel didn't win the thing

I'd be happy to see Kimi at Red Bull, if Vettel wasnt there. Having said that, the Lotus I think is the stronger car right now, and Lotus I think has taken over from Red Bull as being the 'fun' team of F1 at the moment.

The Grosjean crash, I'm interested to see the in-car footage. It seems a rather odd incident

The racing line is the other side of the track. The Merc is coming from the racing line in this first pic. And this is where Kimi starts squeezing Perez.

Once Perez was going down the inside he was braking on the limit - the laws of physics says he can't "slot back in". To do that he would need to brake harder than he already is, which is simply not possible. There were a couple of little pinches of lock-ups from the fronts as it was.

Also added an in-car pic showing Kimi "somewhat" closing the door. Not sure how narrow he thinks a McLaren is, but he got it wrong.

Perez wasn't in far enough to claim the corner, but he is entitled to room on the straight! All Kimi had to do was leave room there and turn-in to make the apex at the right hand part of the chicane and he keeps his position. If Perez hits him while cornering like that it would be Perez's fault. When Kimi runs him into the wall, quite obviously before the corner, there is nothing Perez can do to avoid it.

After much analysis, i apportion this 60/40 (kimi/perez)

Almost even responsibility, but kimi has clearly taken a very shallow apex with a disregard for the width of a competitor in a strange attempt to hold position

No penalties are required, just some of the fun that is Monaco

Who doesn't like like a bit of biff

Kimi absolutely squeezed him. He was never going to get it done on that lap from where he was trying. Kimi did increase the likelihood of contact but Kimi needed to do something otherwise he was just going to launch silly attack after silly attack until they ended up in a proper crash or just a comedy of being forced off the track. So I think Kimi tried to pull his chain by waltzing up to the apex. Not the racing line but is free to take the corner as shallow as he wants as the car with track position.

I rate Perez for having a go but it was LOOOSE...and I personally think he is driving like he has nothing left to give and is desperate to try and get a turn of speed. Strange as early on he was nowhere which is to be expected in new car and team but now is driving like he wants to go into the wall again and miss Canada for a second time

Kimi Raikkonen has hit out at Sergio Perez after his "stupid move" in Monaco cost the Lotus driver vital points in the Championship.

"It was a really disappointing day," said Raikkonen.

"Because of one stupid move from Sergio we've lost a lot of points to Sebastian in the Championship and you can't afford to lose ground like that.

"He hit me from behind and that's about all there is to it.

"If he thinks it's my fault that he came into the corner too fast then he obviously has no idea what he's talking about.

"It's not the first time he's hit someone in the race; he seems to expect people to be always looking at what he might do, then move over or go straight on if he comes into the corner too quick and isn't going to make it without running into someone.

"Not the ideal weekend but there's nothing we can do about it. At least we got one point back at the end."

Perez, however, believes Raikkonen was to blame for the accident.

"It was risky, but there was nothing I could to avoid the crash," said the McLaren driver.

"I overtook Fernando and Jenson in the same place, so at the end of the day you have to give some space.

"If you look at the accident I hit the wall on entry of the corner, so Kimi gave me no room at all and there was nothing I could do to avoid it.

"If someone could have avoided the accident then it was Kimi and not myself.

"At the end I was very unfortunate when I overheated the brakes, so that was main issue.

"I tried my best during what was a very difficult race. It's racing, sometimes things come off, sometimes they don't."

Romain Grosjean has been hit with a grid penalty following his accident with Daniel Ricciardo at the Monaco Grand Prix.

Grosjean was handed a 10-place grid penalty for the Canadian Grand Prix.

His Lotus team-mate Kimi Raikkonen was also in hot water after the race for exceeding the prescribed speed during a Safety Car period, but he escaped with just a reprimand.

Monaco GP: Ferrari puts Felipe Massa's crash down to car problem

"Today's accident looked very similar to what happened in the third free practice session, but in fact the two incidents are very different," said Fry.

"Unlike yesterday, it seems that today's incident can be attributed to a problem on the left front corner of the car.

"It's too early to say precisely what happened and in the next few days, we will try and ascertain the exact cause back in Maranello."

Team boss Stefano Domenicali added that Massa's participation in the next Formula 1 race in Canada in a fortnight was not in doubt.

"Fortunately, despite the violence of the impact, he is fine and has already gone home and I believe that in the space of a few days he will back in perfect shape and ready to race in Montreal," said Domenicali.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
