two or three?
this week, brasil and abu dhabi?

 

also i guess nico... as i think its the lesser of two evils...

i mean i used to think nico was alright, but his driving this year has seemed like he doesnt want to win...

Whats funny is if Nico gets up the haters will say it was becaise of unreliability. But Hamilton seems to be fine with a WDC from when Massa blew up whilst in the lead with only laps to go.....got lucky with rain on the last lap in Brazil etc.  

Just like when Nico had a throttle problem in Singapore yadda yadda...the more vocal English press gloss over the fact that Nico had problems in the race that he managed whuilst Lewis had problems in practice and quali etc

Anyway, I dont care so do remember all the details. Not like the Webber - Vettel years :)  I almost want Nico to have a DNF due to gearbox failure and then beat him with two wins in the final rounds!

Good race. Many lols.

Verstappen gets a penalty for the same thing Hamilton gets away with.

Verstappen won't redress because he wants third.  Then gets penalised and drops to fifth.  Then gets promoted to 4th which is where he would have been had he redressed.

Then Lauda pours a bucket of shit on him.

Vettel goes postal and gets nothing.  Moves around under brakes and gets spanked.  Good good.

Rosberg looks like he will cruise around in P2 to the wdc.

Hoping like hell the new rules for 2017 will include some interesting racing for the lead instead of p3 at best. Newey looks to be half interested again.

Farcical 1. All those penalties were a joke. As were all the drivers comments during and after the race. 

Seems if they're not handing out 40 place grid penalties they find other ways to keep themselves occupied - in this case by artificially modifying the podium

Bernie should start watching some MotoGP to see what real, exciting racing looks like. Not only is f1 boring as watching paint dry these days, cocksuckers like verstappen get f**k all penalty for shit, while vettel cops it for doing less than verstappen has done 50 times in every race this year...

LOL at Dezz - jilted Ferrari fan. Don't worry they will win again and you will love F1 again. Might be waiting some time though.....


It's actually got nothing to do with who is or isn't winning, the sport is actually boring now. That's coming from someone who still doesn't miss a minute of quali or a race... The moment there is some action, there's a stewards review and someone's penalised...

    • 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?
    • 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 !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
