yeah, if taking out the leader and 3 other cars from the places they deserved makes a race awesome... Perez's tyre almost took out Alonso as well. That would have been even more awesome.

Vettel and Rosberg (and probably many others we haven't heard about) had tyres with visible damage and almost at the point of failure at one of their stops.

it may have made a spectacle out of the race, but it only hurt the actual racing and had far too big an influence on who finished where.

This headline sums it up nicely: Rosberg lucks in to victory as tyre failures wreak havoc with race

As Dan said pre-race everyone thought that tyre durability was not going to be a concern for the race and it was going to be a pretty straight up fight.

How wrong they all were. It woudl have been a perfectly good race if the tyres had not blown up as Vettel on Hamo would have been a good contest and ditto Webber in the back of the top 10 trying to come back through. The DRS zone made life rather easy so didnt need tyre grenades

Too pissed at Pirelli to even bother reading the follow up news

Ruined Hamiltons home race, stopped Sergio from embarrassing his team mate again, robbed JEV for a chance to show his stuff to RBR along with dan, and gave people the opportunity for spectators to sympathize with that little weasel of a joke in the red car

Cant wait for next week, where its just as high speed as this week

Didnt anyone else see the red turtle shells and banana peels? hamilton managed to score a lightning strike on vettel. Webber stuffed up his start but lucked out and drew the flying bomb... Tyre shenanigans aside it made for an exciting race with shit head not coming first for once..

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
