Britney gets pole, but only really through a technicality. And then celebrates as if he didn't screw up others laps. They need to bring in a rule where if you cause a yellow with less than 30 seconds to run, or after the session has ended, then you get a penalty.

No they don't. It wasn't on purpose, that's racing (or qualifying in this instance).

I agree that the celebration was a bit much though.

lol that is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Let's penalize people for pushing it to the limit in Q3 while trying to get pole.

Rosberg should have stayed right at the end of that escape road as his session was over anyway with only 30 seconds left in Q3 and not enough time to start another lap. With him at the end of that road the yellows should have been cleared and Hamilton would've been able to complete the lap

Doesn't take much for the douchebag in Hamilton to come out!

Rosberg scored 2 little victories there - one over Hamilton for pole and also over Hamilton mentally - he's no poker player! The last thing you'd do is let the other guy know how pissed off you are like that - or carry on like a child in the press conference broadcast to the world!

I wouldn't be surprised if Hamilton does something stupid tonight, or makes one of his trademark silly mistakes...

I don't see why it's stupid. Had he caused a red flag he would've been penalised. Had he been going slow and blocked people he would've been penalised. Had he gone off and pulled back in front of someone while returning to the track he would've been penalised. But sitting a little way down an escape road and then reversing onto the track, while causing a prolonged yellow flag is ok cause he was "just having a go"? Might as well stop penalising people who take another car out when trying to overtake under brakes, because "they are just pushing hard to get a position".

He didn't go slow and block anyone, he didn't go off and pull back in front of anyone and so on... I said he shouldn't be penalized for pushing hard for pole, and f**king it up.

He should probably have copped something for reversing up the escape with the intention of rejoining as he was well aware there was 30 seconds left, and that he could not get around to start a new lap..

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
