I doubt the 10sec penalty rule will become standard too charliehorse , but I won't be surprised if teams quote this incident when breaching the rule in future. However, the rules on radio need clearing up. Or, better still, ban the radio. Drivers coped fine without it in the past. A man with the same ideas as me, give them a car with a clutch and gearbox, get rid of ALL the driver aids, stupid steering wheel switches... everything, including the radio. Lets go back to the time when drivers drove their cars and pit crew hung a board over the pit wall as their driver went by I'd also outlaw the DRS system too Q. Make them overtake with skill, not assistance!  |

What I don't understand MRS SLEEPY is why it took the stewards 4 hours to decide which naughty step Nico had to sit on. It now stands that you get a 10sec penalty for breaking radio rules. We'll probably see another breach next race by one (at least) of the teams to see how far they can push it. Nico was told to use default settings on the computer to avoid car failure. That's allowed. Then they answered his question about how to avoid seventh gear. That's not allowed. In default settings, he would likely have lost more places. If he carried on using seventh gear, he may have had a DNF. The punishment was too light in my opinion. |

Just re-wrapped a dozen or so cells. It's easy, but does need a bit of practice. If you bought ready cut wraps, they may be too short/long for some makes. 18650's are not all 65mm tall. (Not sure about other sizes). Some are 0.5-1.5mm shorter/longer. I got some wrap on a roll, different colours too, so I wrapped them in order of age. Be careful to hold the positive insulator on or the heat gun (hair dryer) can blow it out.

If they are parallel, they can also have a civil partnership. Hope that helps.  But seriously, the above advise is what you are seeking. |

I didnt believe all the hype around Merc and them trying to fix it for Rosberg, but after this last collision it's obvious they are on Rosbergs side. The guy didn't even attempt to turn which says it all, even with the excuse from Wolfe saying Rosberg had brake issues into that corner (handy that eh!) you can still turn a bloody steering wheel lol. Rosberg just doesn't have the ability, Hamilton out drives him everytime, so now Rosberg knows his only chance is to take him out at every attempt. Very poor show from the stewards, as that should have resulted in at least a drop in grid position at the next GP ( Silverston lol) And as for the Austrian's booing Hamilton on the podium, i guess the same welcome will be given to Rosberg should he end up there without cheating. It will be interesting to see if Hamiltons car issues return now. I agree with all of this. "Pram" and "toys" spring to mind. |

Rosberg gets away with it again. Tried to take Hamilton out but came off worst. Gets a 10 sec penalty that changes nothing. Team orders required. I hate team orders, but that was foul play. Good race apart from that. Well done Jensen Button and Pascal Wherlein. . Merc did their best to fix that one with the dodgy stops for Lewis, but even if they want to hand the title to Nico, they won't be able to. I'll go a step further than whatever I said about him after the last race, he's nothing more than an average driver trading on daddy's name. He should have had a more severe penalty Bren. That's what I meant. As you say, Lewis will always beat him in a fair race, however Merc try to sway it. Nico can't race with him wheel to wheel. It's not like we haven't seen it before. |

I've also watched most of their videos, but I think the Tuna Steak one stops them all. Every so often and very rarely my daughter will ask a question or answer a question I've asked that literally makes me fall off my chair, she is such an intelligent bright soul but has no common sense whatsoever seriously  "It's tuna, and it's steak!"  |

Not sure that "I've been dripping with my Wanko" would cut it in a conversation. Especially if it's a chat-up line......  |
