what a great drive.

also.

good thing these low noses have stopped cars from unnecessary flipping each other

this.

How the fcuk is Maldonado allowed to be here

It cant just be the money

and this.

and...watching the mercs run each other was good.

actually, seeing all the teams run against themselves was pretty good to see.

Mercs must be $1.01 to win WDC and WCC by now.

so maldanado now has a 5 grid penalty and 3 penalty points....

i understand the risk in pit lane for injury is higher for the workers having only helmets and also other members without....

and the safety of the cars is great, but i think dan getting 10 grid penalty and maldo only getting 5 is wrong

...but it did. When Dan pulled a nice move on Vettel then resisted Vettels attempts to get backl past whilst Dan was trying to get the job done on Hulk just in front of him. There was probably less than 2m between each of the three cars in breaking areas!

Ah ok. Will have a look when I get home.

Anyone know why the race wasnt on One last night?

So happy to start reading apologies from those saying Dan was the cop=out option for a safe no.2

ok, I'll admit it - Dan is a dangerous number 2! He very nearly ballsed it all up outbraking himself behind Kimi, locking it all up in a desperado up the inside... As the commentators said, good thing it was Kimi on the outside - the master of staying out of trouble. Otherwise it may well have ended as ingloriously as Maldonardo's little incident. :P

But he's driving very well otherwise. I'm impressed and surprised.

That was a great race!

Formula 1 teams and the sport's bosses have agreed to look into ways to make the current cars louder, following complaints about the noise.

Cost cutting could bring us this gem.

I think that was the messiest move I have seen him do in the 3 years he has been in F1. Not a bad record, espeically when in the move on Kimi you cant help but think with his fresh tyres and pace part of the problem was just how slow Kimi was when he arrived at corner entry and Kimi was still there.

It appears Vettel's car hasnt been running in the sweet spot that Dan's car has so will be interesting mid season when the cars are free of those little dramas that rob one or the other of those tenths lap after lap how they go.

So far was impressed by Vettels maturity in letting Dan pass when ordered to. Actually was shocked he moved out of the way within a few corners

Everyone is saying it was a good race (i just finished my sky sports download) and honestly the safety car really saved it imo

its still a Merc white wash of a season much like ferrari and the early to mid 2000's. The battle at teh end was stellar though but without the safety car I think it would of been another dud bar a few small highlights.. Also perez is such a wank, doesnt fit in at all! I loved watching the merc boys shut him out whenever he tried to talk

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
