Not really, It's going to be double bad for team morale. Going to have an angry Botas, angry Williams and a half angry Massa (For them asking him in the first place). Bottas had a chance to steal some more points off Button, and a slim chance to drag Massa with him. Good for the team. Worst case sceneraio, Button and Bottas take each other out, Massa gains his place back +1 and they can say they tried (although they would not be happy about losing points/damaging a car like that)

I can understand why Massa didn't want to do it, but this early in the season, fighting for minor positions, I think they have to try and get as much as they can. Championships arent on the line, its only race 2. Sometimes you have to think about the team when your not as fast as the other guy and theres another team only a couple of seconds in front

I do feel sorry for Massa. He's a victim of being nice, everyone expects him to play by the rules. But it's one thing to be asked to move over for a world champion (Alonso), it's quite another to be asked to move over for the newbie.

You're all forgetting Multi21 from last year. Seb gave no farks for what the team said, and did his own thing. Nobody was surprised because we all know he's an anus-diddling bieber lookalike so the collective reaction was a non-event. You need this kind of "win at all costs" attitude to be a world champion, Massa and Weber both got close but they are not arseholes. When you need those last few points to get you ahead of the rest, being an arsehole will achieve it and your team will forgive you if you bring home the bacon. It's better to win while not being an arsehole but a lot harder.

f**k him. If he was faster, he wouldn't be behind! :P

Besides, Bottas clearly demonstrated how likely he'd be to pass the McLaren - he couldn't pass Massa. He couldn't even really launch an attack. So Williams got the same number of points - no problems there. And the rest of the world got to enjoy the correct sporting outcome.

The FIA sanctioned sensor says he used less fuel but how much was left in the tank?

And the fact that whenever you're out in front you use less fuel than fighting with other cars for position and in the dirty air of the car in front.

And benedict cumberbatch, an actor at his first gp race, still did a better job at the podium interviews than Alan Jones did at the Aussie gp

Still wondering why Rosberg used so much more in the same equipment. I am not calling shenanigans but he had clear air in front for most of the race since Homoton cleared out.

Different setups, different tyre degradation and defending are all factors but the difference from memory was around 5% which seemed a little excessive when using the same gear.

Remember Rosberg was falling back near Seb at one stage so probably used a bit of fuel to build a gap back up. Hamilton didnt have to live in the turbulent air, which they keep telling us does bad things for tyres, fuel economy etc, so I guess the start of the race might have snowballed the rest?

Who knows. Theres so much to question at this stage, and noone is willing to give any answers so what can you do

In Malaysia Red Bull experienced a failure of the fuel sensor on Daniel Ricciardo's car and used the back-up system, but because the sensor completely failed, rather than just providing inaccurate readings, the same debate did not occur.

from f1live.. LOL. these sensors are a bloody joke. or maybe RBR have figured out how to make them die :P

if i were Juan Miguel Fernandez and this was my 5th(?) year driving a fruitless ferrari, i'd be re-reading my current contract looking for an exit clause

they've slipped back into their close enough is good enough philosophy, and short of something terrible going wrong with Merc of the bulls, they're not going to accomplish much

i would say the same about Mclaren, but i dont know what this Honda move has in store

in any case, Louie for WDC14!

Which would likely be entirely offset by not slipstreaming or using DRS

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
