If it weren't for poor judgement in 2008 and again in 2011 Lewis could and probably should have won every single Canadian GP that he has entered. It's a circuit he just seems to have a special touch around and it's hard to argue against him winning it this weekend.

Somewhat surprised and disappointed in this. Given that it's a circuit that Lewis has absolutely owned the fact that he couldn't match Red Bull here is an ominous sign for him and the team. I guess after 2 1/2 seasons of it I'm also starting to get sick of the sight of Sebastien Vettel... Seriously I just want him to go the hell away. Red Bull started the season with an underperforming car and he's still coming out on top, the way things fall in his favour are almost uncanny... like the Schumacher domination years.

I think Alonso intentionally wanted to qualify behind Lewis, because Lewis will ram into the back of him if he was ahead.

Are you for real? Lewis hasn't been responsible for a single on track incident this season, he's behaved quite impeccably.

possible. he deffo has nothing to fear of mark webber behind him. this guy has shown nothing to even try to pass alonso since abu dhabi 2010!

nevermind, i hope vettel is gonna win this one he is easily the best driver since 2 years and should lead the wdc again.

Mistake from Ferrari and Red Bull to leave Alonso and Vettel out. Lost them both a definite podium.

true, but it has to be said that redbull still did a good damage limitation, while alonso/ferrari were hopeless - lucky for massas spin and schumis dnf, otherwise alonso wouldnt have finished in the points with that blunder.

also: hamilton is an awesome overtaker.

Good result for Lewis and McLaren, hats for to Romain Grosjean and Sergio Perez. It's all about tire management this years and these guy it it spot on.

Not sure is I would agree hamiltons overtaking was awesome, he was in a car that better power and traction, the other didn't really stand a chance, that was evident the way Vettel didn't even try to fight.

I'm sure their was a fair amount of butt twitching on the pit wall when Alonso and Vettel didn't make the second stop.

Really not sure what's going on with both Button and Schumacher, just their turn for bad luck.

In my opinion Button's just struggling because of the tyres. This years tyre performances are known to be wildly variable depending on environmental factors, and because Jenson's driving style relies on such a narrow window of tyre operation I just feel he's struggling because he can't drive around issues as easily as some other drivers. It's disappointing because he's in a good car.

I enjoyed yesterdays race. A good result for Lewis, a much needed one to be honest. Good result also for Grosean and Perez. Perez/Sauber are good at one stop strategies whilst Massa seems to be making his Ferrari stay less likely after making driver errors costing him a lot of places.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
