  1. What i find amazing is the fact that the difficult to see green flag that was been waved from the green box overrides the big f@ck off light boards that were flashing a clearly visible and easy to see flashing yellow, along with the two yellow lights and the word flag wriiten twice in red on his steering wheel!
  2. Yes i saw the marshall waving the green flag (though probably waving the wrong flag! ) too and agree that Vettel should be ok because of this conflict.
  3. To be fair Pete its well worth listening too, the first two incidents he explains why they are not illegal moves Its the last one he is questioning.
  4. So Vettel did make an illegal move according to this and no one from the FIA spotted it! Looks like a very good analysis to me, but you decide http://www.thef1time...s/display/07031 http://www.f1sa.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=35706:f1-formula-1-season-finale-video-footage-shows-vettel-yellow-flag-transgressions&catid=1:f1&Itemid=157 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFER0esusF0&feature=youtu.be
  5. Oh dear this is exactly the sort of post you see reguarly on planetf1 and is one of the main reasons i will never sign up there! So typical to highlight and make a point of him finishing 8th in one race this year but no mention of some of his stunning victories or his mechanical failures (gearbox in Singapore, fuel pump Abu Dhabi)! Vettel and Alonso more humble? If one man deserved to be in the title hunt this year it was Hamilton but his team did not deserve that accolade. Far too many times he was either let down by the team (poor pit stops) or his car. Singapore and Abu Dhabi were his for the taking until car failures cruely intervened and took away certain victory. He was taken out on the last lap by Maldonado in Valencia and taken out on the first lap in Spa by Grosjean, and taken out today whilst leading another race by Hulkenberg. You mention he only finished 8th after starting form the back of the grid in Barcelona (after he put it on pole only to be let down by his team again-fuel issue) but you seem to be forgetting it was a bone dry race where half of the field decided not to take themselves out like they did in Abu Dabi where Vettel started from the pit-lane! For me Hamilton was as good as ever this year and made very few driving errors and his still in my mind the best and fastest driver on the grid and thats why Mercedes are prepared to pay him £19 million a year well in excess of any other driver on the grid. It will be very interesting to see how Mclaren,JB and Perez will fair next year without his services.........i suspect they will struggle. And fact, Vettel was extremely lucky today, not many F1 cars survive a wack like that and survive to race on. For sure if it had been a Mclaren it would have been instant retirement. Vettel was also lucky not to receive a penalty for his first lap crash and his overtaking under a yellow. Many people seem to love or loathe Hamilton but it seems clear to me that the many that loathe Hamilton are for other reasons than his supreme driving skills. Oh and for the record i have been following F1 for nearly 30 years.
  6. I detest both of them in reality but Vettel slightly more I would also like to point out that Vettel really should have had a penalty for taking Senna out, afterall the same stewards were quick to penalise Hulkenberg for taking Hamilton out of the race
  7. A good up to date weather/rainfall weather map here http://www.meteorada...s?bg=0&lat=54.5
  8. Thing is though Dan is that there are no tears of despair from him and he was very gracious in defeat. He drove a great race. And how good was that 2nd lap overtake on Massa and Webber? Also looks like he had a nice bit of crumpet waiting for him in the pits too Shame for Lewis, but a good win for JB, i am exhausted after watching that, i nearly pee'd myself with laughter on the first lap, but i have to say it was a great recovery by Vettel, but you would also have to say he was extremely lucky to survive with a raceable car after the incident with Bruno Senna! He could have easily and very nearly did throw the championship away today..............very lucky boy imho.
  9. +1 It looks like you need to get to fuse block j/b located above the bcm (passenger footwell). Pay particular attention to fuses 1,6,18 and 21. But be very careful prodding around the BCM
  10. I think the alarm is controlled via the BCM (Body control module) passenger side footwell. Not sure where or if there are fuses for the alarm. Have you tried disconnecting the car battery for a small while then re-connecting to see if the alarm then works? Might be worth a go before you start prodding.
  11. Dont worry Immy, this is Great Britain there will be a hosepipe ban come next April (Feb, March and April are now typically our driest months), then May will see the start of the remainder of the year monsoon season again!
  12. Setting the alarm results in one indicator flash and no audible warning, unsetting results in two indicator flashes and no audible warning. If a door is not closed properly and you set the alarm you still get the indicator flashes but you get an audible warning.
  13. Will post what mine does when i get home-shortly.
  14. It looks like they wont even be there http://forum.planet-f1.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5260
  15. Spotted on the car park where i was working last week.
  16. I already do that Graham I have changed my mind, Hamilton still wins, Alonso 2nd and vettel starts the last lap 8th and gets pipped by a HRT with 100m to go to the finish line demoting him to 9th because of an ailing alternator! The blubbering on the radio would be music to my ears! PMSL, evil sod!! I know! But highly unlikelyi suppose considering an HRT would be about 6 laps down by the last lap!
