how funny was it listening to Louise stress out towards the end. Your car is 3 sec a lap faster and you'll be coming out on brand new tyres compared to the others on dead tyres. It was never going to matter where you came back out after the pitstop ffs.

Hoping he can do for 888 what he did for Williams & McLaren.

Was also interesting to read Vettels comments about how he thought it was odd-risky for Homo to overtake him where he chose to rather then wait one more corner and a straight...Vettel said he had to kove over for him so to avoid risk of contact. Seems Homo just likes the drama

Would be shit for it to be decided at the last race because of the lame double points nonsense.

Also:

Ferrari have signalled approval in the past for the prospect of running a third car, and their position remains unchanged with a spokesman saying:

“It’s not about the survival of Formula 1, but for the show. With all due respect, people would prefer to see three more Red Bulls, Ferraris and Mercedes than the other cars.”

Well, I for one wouldn't. Would rather see the midfield get enough coin to be viable. Time for Ecclestone to sod off and sit in a retirement home somewhere.

The stupid thing is that 14 points between 1st and 2nd at the final race means that there is a very strong chance of whichever Merc driver wins there will win the championship. Imagine if you are Homo then going in with a 12 point advantage and way more GP wins then anyoen else this season and you dont win the WDC. Its pretty silly.

It is rather shocking the reliability issues the Mercs are having. They are worse than RBR, McLaren, Fezz, Williams, FI etc when it coems to mechanical retirements. Good thing they are so damn fast.

Pulling out a 25 second advantage on used tyres over about 10laps is pretty clear indication that they enjoy a huge pace advantage

Vettel should have done the team thing Singapore style and taken out Hamilton while he was going for the overtake.

Then, Dan would get the win and with both Mercs out it would make the wdc more interesting ?

either that or everyone else was right... which the court process proved anyway, remember...

If they were really steaming pieces of shiza at the start of the season, RBR would have been able to prove that in court. Instead the full decision of the appeals court says:

As evidence of the reliability of its fuel flow model, the Appellant provided a series of graphs...Several graphs actually showed that parameters had changed from one lap to the other and that one cannot, therefore, conclude that the fuel flow model did not change notably... On top of this, it appears that not all parameters... were shown in the graphs

That was Red Bull's "proof" - doctored graphs and refusing to fully disclose the parameters used to esitmate fuel flow in their model!

The meters were fine.

LOL, meters were rubbish but other teams had the same problems, but they suffered in silence and went with the proper procedure. RBR picked a fight and didnt follow the correct process and got burnt.

RBR doing a hatchet job over the politics around the faulty meter doesnt mean the meters were not problematic. :) Says I :)

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      By PranK · Posted

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
