Supposed to be going to Silverstone tomorrow.. though with these tales of swamp like carparks, and armageddon on the roads in and around silverstone I'm hoping they postpone / cancel it to be honest :(

******* TIMO GLOCK........................................

Jenson had to lift off because of yellow flag now hes out in Q1. Not impressed.

Button had more than enough time, a fast car and better conditions prior to the Glock incident to make it into Q2. He didn't, so... tough luck.

Maybe he did, maybe he didnt, traffic and conditions prevented him from putting in a good lap.

But he only had time for one last flying lap just before sector 15 he was 1.5 seconds up on 17th place then Timo spun causing yellow flag, McLaren just confirmed on Sky F1 that Jenson lifted off the throttle for yellow flag or he would have easily cleared Q1.

Again he should have changed to the other tyres sooner in the session, its partly his fault and partly glocks fault, but this is F1 so **** happens

By luck, not skill. He will go backwards soon enough tomorrow when the 'McDolans' aren't hindered by traffic.

The McLaren's were struggling to generate heat in qualifying. Mercedes on the other hand generate heat very well.

If it's a wet race as expected, it could go anybody's way. I don't see the McLarens getting a clear run when they're starting in 8th and 18th...

i think i said it already, but ferrari has clearly the best car and it has shown today.

mercedes on the other hand has maximum the 4th best car on the grid but with schumacher a driver unmatched in dedication, work-ethics and speed. its not luck that after benetton and ferrari now mercedes is the 3rd team showing VERY strong performances under his leadership.

mclaren needs to worry. they had the best car at the start of the year but havent made anything with it.

i see a schumi win tomorrow. and ofc praying for an alonso dnf. the luck of this guy is undeserved.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
