Oh Bottas, youuuuu fuucked up; Or was it because you drove so hard in the first two sectors that the rear tyres weren't there at the end?

I wanted so bad for him to upset the Mercedes party. Think if he led from the start he might be able to hold it till the end

There's another story link at the bottom of that story that just shows how they are playing up Schumacher's improvement. The other story says "he'll soon be able to lead a normal life" despite the fact that he's still unable to move or speak, and his son says in the first story that he's only "waking up" very slowly.

So much for any of the other teams catching them up. They were soooo dominant today. The fact that Rosberg was quicker than Williams, Dan etc on hammered tyres...those things rarely show their true speed.

Seems very ominous for next year too. They only have to tweak this years car to remain dominate whilst RBR, McLaren and Ferrari need to find 1.5-2.0 seconds over Xmas :(

Oh well.

One thing about last nights race was the joke that the FIA call track limits, Vettel in his usual great form driving straight off the track at most corner exits.

Other teams will match the configuration of the Mercs next year. Will hopefully be a fairer race, only time will tell.

Monaco really showed how fast they were as well. Watching the Mercs leave RBR in their dust on the straights. No wonder they are wining everything with the speed those things have.

if they aren't enforcing track limits, it makes sense to exploit it to your advantage.

I think the fact everyone had to conserve fuel helped Rosberg. If others had fuel to burn along with their fresher rubber, it might have been a different story. But yeah, Hamilton just coasting around setting fastest laps was a little bit ridiculous! And Mercedes engines top 5 places.

Unfortunately it seems Rosberg is the one folding under the WDC pressure at critical moments lately. As much as I hate to say it, Hamilton seems to have his number now.

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
