@OSORIOO I've already discussed about this elsewhere and I don't wish to do it again. But still, why do you all blame the team ? How do you know the the team ONLY is to blame ? If Hamilton had used his brain he would have done what HE thought was best . A F1 pilot can relie on his team but it's always up to him to make the final decision . The ingeneers are there to help him, not to command him !
I heard a rumour years later that someone deliberatly sabotaged Hamiltons car so this error would occur during the race, it was believed that a sponsor of Ferrari was behind the attack but there wasn't enough evidence to charge them, a senior member of the FIA was also thought to be involved.
@Son606 LOL!! Man that's the craziest conspiracy theory I've heard about this incident. It's definitely a gearbox electronics issue. That's right. Even though these are F1 cars, they are still susceptible to glitches in the electronics systems. It happens but it just happened to be at a very important race. Doesn't matter anyway, he got his single WDC and that's all he's goin' to get if Vettel keeps his current form.
@TJD24tamebandkk It could be true you know and whoever this bad guy is, he has a personal hatred of Lewis Hamilton and he'll do what ever he can to ruin Lewis's chances of winning! :(
@Son606 ALL the E.C.U.s, and particularly in this case, the T.C.M. are made by an F.I.A. appointed manufacturer and can ONLY be modified if the modifications meet F.I.A. standards AFTER testing. So realistically to put this down as sabotage is ludicrous.
here is what i think happened. Since Mclaren stole technical information from Ferrari (and i think it was enough to make that mclaren a FERRARI) they had a special remote kill switch in case of emergency and it only works on ferraris. in that case they used it against that McRRARI and it worked. they were like" take that suckaaaaaa". lol
worst thing to ever happen, He would have been a double world champion now if it wasnt for this shit. Embarrassing alonso in his rookie season, God damn mclaren have let him down.
on some f1 cars, you can press neutral in any gear. on Honda powered cars, you can do this. what lewis got is a force neutral. some gearboxes do this to reduce power through the box incase of failure or overheating issues - because a wrong type of coolant was used not cooling the box and engine. quite simple really.
...austrian and italian anthems at the end of most races. Schumacher was way better than anyone else and now hamilton is. When hamilton had no management company, funny how he wasnt talked about anywhere..if hamilton brings more money to the sport he will be world champion again, but until he changes his ethnicity, he wont win as may titles as he deserves. Switch off from this fixed farce!!!!
Formula one is fixed!!! Don't watch it, I've been watching it for years..the ratings and money dropped out when schumacher was dominating, alonso brought with him an untapped spanish market in spain and south america. The guy is good but not great. He recently blocked kubica from joining ferrari and in camparison to hamilton he is formula 3 at best. Every1 knows hamilton is the best driver but "incidents" like this/wrong tyres always happen to him...and we are left to listen to german and...
Well Hamilton should have started from back of the field anyways:
1) He used wrong set of tyres in practise:
-All previous cases => Grid penalty
-Hamilton's case => Fines
2) Hamilton blocked Räikkönen TWICE in one qualifying session -> no penalty
At Japan he caused callision between Webber and Vettel by braking safety car rules. He had received official warning from breaking that rule at Monza..and he was reminded about SC rules right before this race. Result = no penalty.
@kimnice i agree hamilton is stupid. so you cant call me a hamilton lover. but in his defense all decisions on drivers are made equal. no racism, favouritism etc etc in f1. suggest you grow up and stop looking at the world in 2d.
@ThEtErRoRiZeR1134 no. what costed him the 2007 wdc is what he and the team has done in china. he just needed 4 point to seal the championship instead they kept him out too long and he lost all of his grip and couldnt turn in to the pit. THAT what costed him the title.
@WakeUpDummies i didnt tell that. i told that the team should call him earlier before his tyres grip totally gone or he should say them ok guys coming to the pit cause this undriveable. they both made a mistake. but from your sentence i know you are a hamilton hater so its no matter what i say you dont really care.
ALONSO YOU KNOW YOU BEEN WORLD CHAMPION TWICE BUT YOUR FANS ARE GOING TOO FAR NOW! SO I SUGGEST YOU FUCKING BITCHY BASTARD BE A FORMULA 1 DRIVER NOT A CRY BABY LIKE IN ABU DHABI!
@CaboArmorKing Well theres alot of twitter of alonso fans? How will i know ? Maybe i can't be bothered because alonso dont use his twitter! His to busy driving his ferrari like a bitch
Excuses. Just go looking through some of those accounts and you'll find his in no time.
Alonso used his Twitter, for example when Kubica had that rally-accident. Say what you want about Alonso, but there is a big chance that he has more world titles than your favorite driver.
can someone please tell me if this was a mechanical problem or drivers fault ive been doing many reasearch but unable to find some answers thank you very much.
@BrotherYounis his car was switched off to prevent him winning the title. Look back at this year and see how many things go against him and funny how nobody mentions that if alonso would have supported him in the last race hamilton would have been world champion.
@superjosealataqerr HAHAHAHA!!! This list is a joke. You put a guy, who was beaten by his rookie teammate, as best of the world? You put Mark Webber (though I actually would rather have seen him champion) above Vettel? Even though Webber lost the title due to his own errors, you still put him above Vettel? I don't even like Vettel! And you got Webber above Hamilton. WOW!!! Man, you've got a serious case of denial.
@xcruzrr6 Hamilton didn't really beat Alonso, they still came in on same points at the end of the season, and that's what matters. Also not so easy for Alonso in Mclaren when he had a team boss who hated him. There wasn't really much fight between Alonso and Hamilton, the real problem was Ron Dennis. Hamilton was Ron's little boy, especially after Canada.
@VuDu4000 Nah, he did beat him. If hamilton did not pass glock in brazil 2008, would Massa have 'not really beaten' massa, and that's 'all that matters'? No dummy..
@stefanarak How did he beat him? With one more second place you mean? I'd say that bollocks. Fernando still came in on the SAME points after not being successfully at all the first half of the season, AND having an team boss who hated him in the second half in the season, i'd asy that's well done to him to still pull it off. Although I hate them both, never liked Alonso or Hamilton. And Hamilton got lucky in 2008. Today he can't drive for shit.
@VuDu4000 I don't give a shit about what you say about Hamilton now, you're simply 100% factually wrong about this, and that's what I'm arguing about. He beat him in the FIA standings, and despite what you'd "say" is bollocks, what you think in the grand scheme of things is insignificant. Again, if Hamilton did not pass Glock in Brazil 2008, would he have been world champion? If you say no, then you must admit that Hamilton beat Alonso, as it's the same situation. If you say yes, you're a moron.
@stefanarak On paper it didn't look like he beat Alonso by much did it? They were tie on points, even still when Alonso had a team boss who said himself that they were racing Alonso. Alonso struggled with tyres more than Hamilton due to never driving them, unlike Hamilton. Alonso was the better driver of the two but it didn't help him much when the team boss said himself they were racing Alonso. The team pretty much built around Hamilton. How would it have been if it was the other way around.
@VuDu4000 What you have said is irrelevant. I don't want to get into the politics of it, although obviously I disagree. I never said he beat alonso by much, I am just saying, he did 'really' beat him, in F1 the margins are small and he has been recorded as placing above Alonso: therefore, you are incorrect, that's all I'm saying.
And please save the sob story about the team being against him when Alonso is the only guy in a top team to have a lapdog as a number 2 driver.
@stefanarak Aint it obvious Alonso had a hard time when the team was working against him? When a TEAM BOSS says they are racing their own driver made it harder for Alonso. And he barely get to drive the tyres, unlike Hamilton. Pretty damn obvious to me. Like with Webber and Vettel 2010. I'd say Alonso would beat Hamilton with ease if it was the other way around. Team boss would said they raced Hamilton and everything of it. Look at Hamilton and Alonso today, who is the more balanced driver.
that was not hamilton's foult. what happened their was called a fouls neutral with means even tho he only shift 3 time the gearbox went mad. this happened to jenson in the chinesse gp at the 2010 gp.
Ayrton Senna is having personal record driving last 10 laps of Brasilian GP in interlagos with only 6th gear all the time. and i can't say for sure it happend to Coulthard once but Mika Häkkinen had same kind of incident in Interlagos in 1999 I think.
@joni19821 The only "noob" is you, as If you actually knew what you were talking about, you'd know the pit limiter is on the other side of the steering wheel, and it will only work from 1st/2nd+3rd gear.
Had you bothered to look at the onboard display, you would have noticed that the gear selection is show in the centre, it shows 7, then he brakes/downshifts and the revs drop to zero as the gearbox goes into Neutral - BEFORE any buttons are pushed!
@joni19821 Are you blind,lol? Watch the vid I posted: Ham_Brasil07_failure.avi
(it's much clearer), you can clearly see the rev counter, and you can clearly see Hamilton trying to re-engage the gearbox hydraulics, which is done by upshifts, followed by downshifts.
@bmk139 Dude, you can believe whatever the h*** you want for all I care. An online debate leads to nothing so keep it your way and i keep it my way ;)
Agreeing with all below comments. It's also known as a 'force neutral'. I believe it occurs also when there is an irregular pattern of downshifting or something, correct me if I'm wrong. It happened to both McLarens in China this year.
@CashewBoyLiam So was there an irregular pattern of shifting when Hamilton changed down from 7th and his car went into neutral? Nope, and you can see the gear selection (and the revs fall to zero) on the screen.
@bmk139 What you arguing about? I never said it was definitely an irregular pattern of downshift, just said 'I believe it occurs ALSO when there is an irregular pattern of downshifting'. That pretty much states that there are two eventualities where this could happen, doesn't it?
@CashewBoyLiam Lol, I simply replied to your comment that said "correct me if I'm wrong", and all I said was that there was no irregular shift pattern (Hamilton was in 7th and he downshifted to 6th).
F1 sequential boxes have a multitude of electronics that regulate and control shifts via the ECU (which also controls throttle position whilst the shift is made). Should a gear outside of the rev range be selected, it won't select N, but the driver will have to reselect the gear.
Seems crazy to me that McLaren didn't win one race in 2006 but then they are championship contenders a year later......and the guy they lost to is the one they let get away!!
But those Ferrari papers didn't help McLaren at all. It was just bad drivers in 2006.......the bad driver that went to Ferrari and won the championship with in 2007........
stealing plans from ferrari wasn't that clever for mclaren. Should be funny if mclaren spyed on the gearbox papers of ferarri. But stil hamilton great driver like alonso and massa.
An amateur? Why, because his gearbox had a fault? Did you even watch the video before posting a stupid comment?
If Hamilton is an "amateur", then what does that say about Alonso?
After all, Hamilton, as a rookie, out qualified Alonso, out raced Alonso, tested faster than Alonso, out smarted Alonso and beat him in the championship.
I think what will happen this year are epic battles between the 3 greatest F1 drivers of the last decade...... Hamilton, Alonso & Schumi, although I do think the title will be between Hamilton & Alonso.
Have you seen the pictures of Ferrari's F10? It looks f**kin awesome!!
Ironic isn't it, that you are here too, searching out Hamiltons videos when you aren't even a fan. Are you looking for mistakes to moan about, lol?
If you read my comments below, you will see I'm also a fan of other drivers... Alonso, Massa, Webber, Rosberg, Kimi & Kobayashi, and whilst I support Hamilton, I still have 100% appreciation and respect for Ferrari.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
mmm yeah i watch hamilton's videos but i dont go posting comments and arguing with almost everybody who says anything that i dont like about hamilton. Just understand this there is alot of haters for hamilton u cant just stop everybody from commenting and putting their opinions thats normal its called internet!
You seem to be forgetting it's you that began this 'discussion' with me, and you who continued that daft argument the other day. Nowhere have I told people to stop commenting. Opinions are all very well, but when people can't even see what happens on a video, and write silly comments regardless...... then it's hardly an informed opinion is it. If you read my comments properly you will see objective and informed comments and not just arguments.
Im not trying to defend hamilton Okay, the first button pushed is the gear down trigger so could this cause a shift to N ? maybe a premature shift from 7 to 6th
Nope, as Neutral cannot be selected via the paddle shift on a sequential box, nor is it a premature shift as Hamilton had already scrubbed off sufficient speed under braking to make the shift.
FIA technical regulations state that the ECU electronics that control the clutch, throttle and gearbox during shifts must not delay the shift in the event on an over-rev, and electronics ensure that every shift is accessible. Some people simply won't accept this was a gearbox fault, despite video proof.
But what on Earth... I can´t believe that 3 years after this, and with tons of videos available to watch about the incident with that live rev-gear graphic there is still people saying that Hamilton caused this!!
0.4 seconds in, watch the revs and the gear selection, I'll give you a clue, it's in the centre of the rev display..... IT SHOWS N & THE REVS DROP TO ZERO, BEFORE ANY BUTTONS ARE PUSHED!
If you actually knew anything about an F1 car you would know that the gearbox will only select Neutral when the car is in 1st gear.
Search Ham_Brasil07_failure.avi for a clearer video.
Oh, another bitter Spaniard lol. Pwnd is exactly what Hamilton did to Alonso that season, and the season after, and the season after, and next season too! LOL
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow youre just a hamilton fanboy. hamilton didnt outdrive alonso in '07 and in '08 hamilton had a mclaren still while alonso went back to renault (which sucked) and in '09 same deal although the mclaren wasnt a top car. so saying hamilton outdrove alonso is like saying rubens barrichello outdrove hamilton
Oh how I love judgmental ignorance, I'm a Ferrari fan who happens to be a fan of Hamilton, Kimi, Massa, Alonso, Webber, Rosberg and Kobayashi..... my comments were aimed at the silly response by kikecacique.
Not as stupid as you, maybe you should watch the video more closely, note the onboard display..... it shows the gear selection, which clearly shows 7 then N as Hamilton downshifts and brakes...... before any buttons are pushed.
Perhaps is you actually knew anything about F1, you would know that Neutral can only be selected when the car is in 1st gear dumbass!
actually it looks like he uses the clutch paddle or the down-shift paddle with his left hand before he decreases his rpms. watch his left hand and pay attention to the rpm gauge. he wouldnt have downshifted from such a high rpm and hes put in neutral just as he moves his hand. it looks like driver error or the alleged self-sabotage.
Clutch? What are you on about lol? The clutch is only used to move off the start line, gearchange is semi-auto sequential meaning the clutch is inactive thru the rest of the shifts. The clutch is NOT used to change gear, NOR DOES IT PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL. Didn't you know that,lol?
Neutral can only be selected via the button on the upper left of the steering wheel, and is only operational when the car is in 1st gear.
Semi seq boxes default into N when a problem or fault is detected.
i know what the clutch is used for. its used whenever the car is stopped to prevent stalling. i just was making a point that the clutch and paddle shifter is all thats back there so what was he doing with his hand when the car went to neutral?
the hand movement im talking about wasnt a reaction to his gearbox going into neutral as it was at the exact moment of the failure. you gotta watch his left hand and listen to his engine to see that its at the same moment
Perhaps you forgot the 18.000 rev limit only came in at the start of 2009, I suggest you look at the onboard display, he brakes and downshifts at exactly the same moment, which is quite normal.
18000+ means more than 18000rpms. i already know about the rev limiter change for 2009 but what does that have to do with anything here anyway? he tried to downshift with the engine screaming at 18000+ rpms and that is NOT normal. actually the system wont let you downshift at all if it determines the engine speed in the lower gear will be too high. in this case itd be over 20000 rpms. i dunno where you get your information from
Lol, your knowlege of F1 must be very limited, gears are incredibly close ratio, I suggest you look at some other onboard footage of drivers changing gear, If you think theres a 2000rpm difference between 7th and 6th then you are very, very misinformed.
theyre close ratio in the higher gears but if you think downshifting at more than 18000 rpms is gonna keep him below the 19000 rpm rev limit then youre the one who has limited knowledge. you just think if you write "lol" and act like you know then people will believe you but youre just spewing out false information
Maybe if you actually used ur brain instead of posting ignorant and stupid arguments on subjects to plainly have very little understanding of, then you would have gone onto some of the numerous f1 technical websites and researched 'gear selection & electronics'.
All the information is widely available from the likes of Mclaren, Wlliams & F1addict websites, probably wikipedia too. You will soon realize thats it's you that is spewing out false information with ur silly, bullshit arguments.
Stop fucking commenting then do dumb cunt,lol. And do some research on the electronics that modulate throttle and revs within 200 milli seconds during the gear change, F1 cars have some of the most advanced electronics in the world so the 19.000 rev limit has no bearing anyway.

take your gearbox and electronics stats and shove em up your ass. nobody is asking you about any of this nor does it pertain to what we are discussing. do you have adhd or something. most of my posts were civil but you cant seem to handle anyone who doesnt agree with you and you constantly try to insult with your rebuttals to my posts. you got anger issues
Haha you hypocritical dumbass, it's fine for you to call people "gay", or say "they don't know shit", but when it's given back to you, you claim you were being "civil"?
Fuck off you idiot, if you still don't understand how the electronics work in relation to explaining and debunking your whole argument, you maybe you should find a less complex sport to follow.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i said MOST of my posts. i only got on your level of insulting after a while cuz you insult in every one of your comments so i figured i might as well insult back. i know plenty about f1 technology. you spew out technical details about electronics and the semi-auto tranny but you just dont seem to fully grasp how it works. i like to debate but i dont even know what this stupid arguement is turning into. you try to get so technical when none of what you say matters
Wrong again, in fact none of what you say matters, and that is because you refuse to accept that the gearbox has a multitude of electronics to prevent drivers fucking up the shifts (which is what you are implying Hamilton did).
I spent some time writing objective, and well written explanations to you about how the system works but you came back with stupid, immature comments like "your a wanna be F1 engineer", and you have said similar remarks to other who have tried to explain the same things.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
"the gearbox has a multitude of electronics to prevent drivers fucking up the shifts"--true. but i stand by my arguement that you cant downshift with your engine turning at 18000+ rpms. the electronics cant control engine speed. engine speed in any given gear is directly related to the speed the wheels are turning and its all strictly mechanical with no control by electronics. the most electronic control can do is prevent a gear change that would be harmful to the engine.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
if you agree then maybe we are misunderstanding eachother. as for hamilton trying to downshift from such high engine speed, that would be prevented by the electronics but its still wierd that he even tried. if the system failed it could very well have been caused by confusing input by hamilton. i never said he certainly caused this failure but only suggested the possibility.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
pedro de la rosa said on t.v that the problem was that he pushed the button of the pit stop and he works for mclaren, he was not lying because at first he didnt want to say nothing but after a lot of time he told the truth . the same thing happened to kovalainen in australia in 2008.
Are you dumb, or just blind? I suggest you watch the above video, it shows Hamilton in 7th gear, then he downshifts and the revs drop to zero, and in the centre of the onboard display where it shows the gear selection, N for neutral is shown.
F1 cars have to be in 1st gear for Neutral to be selected, the button (which Hamilton does NOT press until after he's lost all drive) will not work in any other gear.
@icetonky mclaren apparentlyy used to wrong coolant on hamiltons engine and the engine overheated thats why it went into neutral. if you watch the season reveiw hamilton explains it.
@icetonky Why did he lost all drive then if you can't choose neutral when in 7th gear? Anyway, I celebrated when this happened, and celebrated even more when he lost the championship.

@xcruzrr6 Hamilton didn't really beat Alonso, they still came in on same points at the end of the season, and that's what matters. Also not so easy for Alonso in Mclaren when he had a team boss who hated him. There wasn't really much fight between Alonso and Hamilton, the real problem was Ron Dennis. Hamilton was Ron's little boy, especially after Canada.

@stefanarak How did he beat him? With one more second place you mean? I'd say that bollocks. Fernando still came in on the SAME points after not being successfully at all the first half of the season, AND having an team boss who hated him in the second half in the season, i'd asy that's well done to him to still pull it off. Although I hate them both, never liked Alonso or Hamilton. And Hamilton got lucky in 2008. Today he can't drive for shit.

@VuDu4000 I don't give a shit about what you say about Hamilton now, you're simply 100% factually wrong about this, and that's what I'm arguing about. He beat him in the FIA standings, and despite what you'd "say" is bollocks, what you think in the grand scheme of things is insignificant. Again, if Hamilton did not pass Glock in Brazil 2008, would he have been world champion? If you say no, then you must admit that Hamilton beat Alonso, as it's the same situation. If you say yes, you're a moron.
stefanarak 3 months ago
@stefanarak On paper it didn't look like he beat Alonso by much did it? They were tie on points, even still when Alonso had a team boss who said himself that they were racing Alonso. Alonso struggled with tyres more than Hamilton due to never driving them, unlike Hamilton. Alonso was the better driver of the two but it didn't help him much when the team boss said himself they were racing Alonso. The team pretty much built around Hamilton. How would it have been if it was the other way around.
VuDu4000 3 months ago
@VuDu4000 What you have said is irrelevant. I don't want to get into the politics of it, although obviously I disagree. I never said he beat alonso by much, I am just saying, he did 'really' beat him, in F1 the margins are small and he has been recorded as placing above Alonso: therefore, you are incorrect, that's all I'm saying.
And please save the sob story about the team being against him when Alonso is the only guy in a top team to have a lapdog as a number 2 driver.
stefanarak 3 months ago
@stefanarak Aint it obvious Alonso had a hard time when the team was working against him? When a TEAM BOSS says they are racing their own driver made it harder for Alonso. And he barely get to drive the tyres, unlike Hamilton. Pretty damn obvious to me. Like with Webber and Vettel 2010. I'd say Alonso would beat Hamilton with ease if it was the other way around. Team boss would said they raced Hamilton and everything of it. Look at Hamilton and Alonso today, who is the more balanced driver.

@joni19821 The only "noob" is you, as If you actually knew what you were talking about, you'd know the pit limiter is on the other side of the steering wheel, and it will only work from 1st/2nd+3rd gear.
Had you bothered to look at the onboard display, you would have noticed that the gear selection is show in the centre, it shows 7, then he brakes/downshifts and the revs drop to zero as the gearbox goes into Neutral - BEFORE any buttons are pushed!

Agreeing with all below comments. It's also known as a 'force neutral'. I believe it occurs also when there is an irregular pattern of downshifting or something, correct me if I'm wrong. It happened to both McLarens in China this year.
CashewBoyLiam 1 year ago
@CashewBoyLiam So was there an irregular pattern of shifting when Hamilton changed down from 7th and his car went into neutral? Nope, and you can see the gear selection (and the revs fall to zero) on the screen.
bmk139 1 year ago
@bmk139 What you arguing about? I never said it was definitely an irregular pattern of downshift, just said 'I believe it occurs ALSO when there is an irregular pattern of downshifting'. That pretty much states that there are two eventualities where this could happen, doesn't it?
CashewBoyLiam 1 year ago
@CashewBoyLiam Lol, I simply replied to your comment that said "correct me if I'm wrong", and all I said was that there was no irregular shift pattern (Hamilton was in 7th and he downshifted to 6th).
F1 sequential boxes have a multitude of electronics that regulate and control shifts via the ECU (which also controls throttle position whilst the shift is made). Should a gear outside of the rev range be selected, it won't select N, but the driver will have to reselect the gear.

At the end of 06, the FIA brought in engine limits and a freeze on engine specs.

Can an F1 driver change from 7 to N without pressing the N button? Yes. by downshifting the paddle changer 7times. Hamilton did not.
Did ham press the N button? yes but seconds after he was already in neutral.
Since Hamilton did not, who did? His race engineers. I think Ron Denis should apologise to this boy for selling him out to ferrari.

Im not trying to defend hamilton Okay, the first button pushed is the gear down trigger so could this cause a shift to N ? maybe a premature shift from 7 to 6th
logitechz3 2 years ago
Nope, as Neutral cannot be selected via the paddle shift on a sequential box, nor is it a premature shift as Hamilton had already scrubbed off sufficient speed under braking to make the shift.
FIA technical regulations state that the ECU electronics that control the clutch, throttle and gearbox during shifts must not delay the shift in the event on an over-rev, and electronics ensure that every shift is accessible. Some people simply won't accept this was a gearbox fault, despite video proof.

Not as stupid as you, maybe you should watch the video more closely, note the onboard display..... it shows the gear selection, which clearly shows 7 then N as Hamilton downshifts and brakes...... before any buttons are pushed.
Perhaps is you actually knew anything about F1, you would know that Neutral can only be selected when the car is in 1st gear dumbass!
icetonky 2 years ago 4
actually it looks like he uses the clutch paddle or the down-shift paddle with his left hand before he decreases his rpms. watch his left hand and pay attention to the rpm gauge. he wouldnt have downshifted from such a high rpm and hes put in neutral just as he moves his hand. it looks like driver error or the alleged self-sabotage.
didickcheeseburger 2 years ago
Clutch? What are you on about lol? The clutch is only used to move off the start line, gearchange is semi-auto sequential meaning the clutch is inactive thru the rest of the shifts. The clutch is NOT used to change gear, NOR DOES IT PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL. Didn't you know that,lol?
Neutral can only be selected via the button on the upper left of the steering wheel, and is only operational when the car is in 1st gear.
Semi seq boxes default into N when a problem or fault is detected.
icetonky 2 years ago 2
i know what the clutch is used for. its used whenever the car is stopped to prevent stalling. i just was making a point that the clutch and paddle shifter is all thats back there so what was he doing with his hand when the car went to neutral?

He was trying to re-engage the hydraulics, which is done by upshifts followed by downshifts, which he can be seen doing.

the hand movement im talking about wasnt a reaction to his gearbox going into neutral as it was at the exact moment of the failure. you gotta watch his left hand and listen to his engine to see that its at the same moment

icetonky 2 years ago 2
at 18000+ rpms? he didnt even start braking before he made the downshift
didickcheeseburger 2 years ago
Perhaps you forgot the 18.000 rev limit only came in at the start of 2009, I suggest you look at the onboard display, he brakes and downshifts at exactly the same moment, which is quite normal.
icetonky 2 years ago 2
18000+ means more than 18000rpms. i already know about the rev limiter change for 2009 but what does that have to do with anything here anyway? he tried to downshift with the engine screaming at 18000+ rpms and that is NOT normal. actually the system wont let you downshift at all if it determines the engine speed in the lower gear will be too high. in this case itd be over 20000 rpms. i dunno where you get your information from
didickcheeseburger 2 years ago
Lol, your knowlege of F1 must be very limited, gears are incredibly close ratio, I suggest you look at some other onboard footage of drivers changing gear, If you think theres a 2000rpm difference between 7th and 6th then you are very, very misinformed.
icetonky 2 years ago
theyre close ratio in the higher gears but if you think downshifting at more than 18000 rpms is gonna keep him below the 19000 rpm rev limit then youre the one who has limited knowledge. you just think if you write "lol" and act like you know then people will believe you but youre just spewing out false information

Wrong again, in fact none of what you say matters, and that is because you refuse to accept that the gearbox has a multitude of electronics to prevent drivers fucking up the shifts (which is what you are implying Hamilton did).

"the gearbox has a multitude of electronics to prevent drivers fucking up the shifts"--true. but i stand by my arguement that you cant downshift with your engine turning at 18000+ rpms. the electronics cant control engine speed. engine speed in any given gear is directly related to the speed the wheels are turning and its all strictly mechanical with no control by electronics. the most electronic control can do is prevent a gear change that would be harmful to the engine.
didickcheeseburger 2 years ago

if you agree then maybe we are misunderstanding eachother. as for hamilton trying to downshift from such high engine speed, that would be prevented by the electronics but its still wierd that he even tried. if the system failed it could very well have been caused by confusing input by hamilton. i never said he certainly caused this failure but only suggested the possibility.

Are you dumb, or just blind? I suggest you watch the above video, it shows Hamilton in 7th gear, then he downshifts and the revs drop to zero, and in the centre of the onboard display where it shows the gear selection, N for neutral is shown.
F1 cars have to be in 1st gear for Neutral to be selected, the button (which Hamilton does NOT press until after he's lost all drive) will not work in any other gear.
