i think he did deserve the drive through, as it was unsafe, i mean yeah nothing happened but last year or year before there was the wheel that went strolling down pit lane and smashed the camera man...

No-one is disagreeing with him getting a drive-through penalty. It just doesn't seem fair that he should be punished twice for it.

Edit: Disregard that. I didn't see your earlier post.

I wish the whole race had the same intensity of the first few laps. When the field is condensed and on cold tires its edge of your seat stuff. You forget for a brief moment that there is a complete lack of noise and just get enthralled in the racing.

He got a 10 second stop-go from what I remember, and he may have retired before serving it (not sure on this) - which would explain the grid penalty if he did.

Although reading it, it does look like they are giving him both the stop-go and the grid penalty. Guess they are making an example of it or something.

yeah i just read on f1.com that its new for 2014, if you're deemed to have an unsafe release you'll receive a 10sec stop go AND then also a 10 place grid penalty. I think he did serve the stop go also before he retired.

and yeah love the starts to the races but sorta falls off in the middle and then the end can be a bit better... needs safety car....

I don't understand why he got this, Wasn't it webbers car last year when the tyre hit the camera man. As much as I love webber, why did he not get a 10 spot penalty but ricciardo does?

Plus look at all the Hamilton pit stop screw ups the last two years with unsafe releases.... why is this so different?

Put like that ^ it does seem a bit strange that they now do the 5 second stop-go penalty where teams can pit, do the 5 seconds, then work on the car (therefore not as harsh/race ruining penalty), but then they seem to have made the unsafe release twice as harsh

I guess there is more people in the pit-lane that can get hurt, but I dunno, still seems harsh to me. Unless it is one or the other and because Dan didnt serve his 10 second penalty he gets the grid penalty for next race

It's a bloody stupid rule to be honest. How is it the drivers fault? Personally i believe the team should recieve the penalty, be it a fine or constructors points. It's abit rediculus that the driver should be penalised when its something they have zero control over.

God so sick of watching F1 on OneHD. Has anyone found a way to watch via Sky F1 directly? I've been considering Sky f1 Control via VPN/DNS via a UK proxy but to be honest it's still rediculusly expensive. Also abit of a risk, if its even possible as its 12months at a minimum term. All i really want is unhindered FULL coverage i'm more then happy to pay $30>40 a month for it for gods sake.

merc looking VERY good for both championships now

what a points head start

the fact Lewis smoked everyone and STILL had used less fuel than anyone else in the top 10 by a few laps from the end shows how well sorted the Merc is

the driver is considered part of the team

no team orders means has its justifiable knock on effects now

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
