Was just chatting with a mate about the season so far, I am bored with this season and I think it's down to the tyres artificially limiting the performance of the teams.

Id rather have Vettel win every race than have a completely unpredictable race thanks to the tyres, F1 should be about the drivers skill than which team can set up their car so that it doesnt wear down the tyres so quickly.

Definitely a fair point. It is exciting that you can't predict who's going to win, but I have to agree it seems that the winner is really who has their car balanced the best for the tyres.

Not quite the driver showdown we hope for, it's just waiting for X's tyres to go off as Y has fresher tyres.

woah! incredibly close qualifying. i really expected a williams or lotus on pole, but at the end the 2 best drivers on the grid delivered again way more than their car was allowing. its shaping up to be a vettel vs. hamilton battle for the wdc this year.

another "winner" aftet today: felipe massa. he has definitly nothing to hide if he is aside with schumacher and alonso :p

What happened with the Ferraris?

they are just lacking pace. no driving mistake like schumacher in the last corner (however i doubt it would have made any difference)

lol, that couldn't have gotten any better for Alonso. The F1 gods even had Dildonado ram Hamilton out at the end of the race.

also count grosjean sleeping at the restart and letting alonso pass, vettels car going bom, mclaren letting hami again down in the pits.

Hamilton - Maldonado incident..Hard to judge,Looked like Hamilton turned into Mal. But Mal at the same time did not do much of an effort to not run into Hamilton.

Also, would have loved to see Alonso's pirellis to fall of the edge, and thusly make Kimi overtake him and win.

Very nice to see Schumi back on the podium, the way him and Webber worked through the field together was a nice thing to watch.

What?

Hamilton was on the racing line, Maldonado was off the track, Hamilton turns to make the apex when he was IN FRONT on the RACING LINE and Maldonado instead of tucking in behind Hamilton pulls into him.

    • 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.
