Fines that have the possibility of influencing behaviour...are at least justifiable. Ploughing into the backs of cars trying to be a superstar under brakes etc...fair enough.

Fining a team for a rear wing failing? Should never happen. Did Rubens or Brawn get fined for the spring that actually hurt Massa? No. Racing is dangerous and sometimes parts fail. if you think their cars are failing in a dangerous manner routinely then exclude them from running until they can pass certain criteria in testing or in a lab (provide shaker rig results etc)

I dont share the loathing of Massa that some do but I truly hope he doesnt find his way to Williams or Lotus. Lotus best grab Hulk so he can get smashed by Romain...and Williams best stick with Faildanado and Bottas...who I think has a very level racing head on him. You look at him this year, it boggles the midn that he has come straight from GP3! He was on camera a bit this weekend and racing the likes if Kimi, Alonso, and all the others for the whole race...very mature and clever racer!

pwnd

anyone wanna dig up my quote from about 5 years ago about how Webber'd never have a WDC trophy? haha

Lost count of how many times I've posted that Webber would/will never win an F1 WDC.

As for Massa, he came a shit load closer than Webber ever did, and in a car that wasn't the clear number 1 car on the grid, so Massa > Webber really....

A few thought bubbles festered through my head when watching the GP last night. In no particular order:
Massa has actually driven pretty well in the last few GP's. Maybe having something to drive for helps.

Grosjean also appears to have stepped up although maybe he is trying a bit too hard.

Tool is still a tool. Trying to run lap records on the harder of the two compounds when he was already way out in front and the team were worried about his alternator and battery was just, well, toolish.

Bottas hasnt really set the world on fire, now has he? Admittedly the Williams is a dog but he hasnt outpaced or outraced Maldanado by any means.

Dan done good. Again.

Re Bottas....I think he is doing a great job. I dont recall him crashing into anyone and he is racing in the most heated part of the grid with all the first lap antics and bumping. He has easily out qualified Maldanado more often then not. When he has been up there racing for positions shown good race craft and a level head.

Re finihsing positions I dont know the count but he it would be close if not in his favour for generally finishing ahead of Maldanado. And Pastor may not be consistant but he can be damn fast. And Bottas is a guy plucked from GP3 with next to no practice. No mistakes and out pacing a more experienced driver who over a race distance is quick...just runs into too many other cars :)

and he couldn't show up Schuey last season... Bit of a shame we didn't get to see him in this year's pretty decent car.

What the guy that only won so many GPs because they are hacks these days due to having so many GPs nd had a complicit team mate... and were handing out points like candy?

Sorry...couldn;t help myself

Massa to Williams :( Well he can steer if that Brazilian brain of his gets out of bed and isnt having a sook. I hope he brings his top game to Williams....but you cant help but think they would be better taking a young talented guy....hell they are running Merc engines next year so almost rather Sam Bird be given a shot. At the end of the day they need someone that will not bin cars and put it about where it needs to be and hope that the team build a decent car. Not sure Massa i sgoing to put the car where it shouldnt be or help develop the car

lol Brundle said if Schumacher had the same points system during his career as Alonso had during his, he'd have scored over 3600 points. That's handing out points like candy! And that's why making a special helmet to celebrate this massive achievement is a complete wank.

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
