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.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • 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.
