From what I heard in the process, they put the carbon into a mould and then bake it at high temperature with pure methane gas. The carbon from the methane gas fuses with the solid carbon to increase the density. After 3/5 weeks they take it out to machine. After machining, they put it back with methane gas for another 3 weeks. Imagine to cost of heating up the discs for a whole 6/8 weeks!!! The reason they machine it halfway is because the discs are too hard to be machined after 6/8 weeks.

pads are made by the same materials as the rotors

Damn Schumi. He just keeps on getting worst and worst every time. And when it seems like there's a glimpse of hope, it is all washed away in a spectacular catastrophe.

Bugger, I think I am going to be on 0 points at the end of the season still!!!!! Is there a prize for gaining such a great result!??

At one stage, I didn't think we would even have a top 8 with all the crashes etc. But it was a good race, except for the result!
