change of weather?

Alonso and Schumi will take the podium I think..

I have a feeling this will be a good race for the RedBulls.

Watching the pre-race coverage - it's overcast, but bone dry at the moment. Silverstone being Silverstone I wouldn't rule out a shower during the race though.

It looks like the race will be run in the dry. Shame.

no problem with having a dry race. then finally everyone WILL see that ferrari has clearly the best car.

after a few laps its already obvious. ferrari the fastest car, schumacher fighting with a difficult car and webber - as always - is just happy to stay behind alonso. he even lifted at the start!

Perez is absolutely right about how Maldonado is getting away with way to much.

btw the BBC has some good side channels, Pitlane video you can listen to all of the conversations between the drivers and pitlane, as well as live timing and onboard cameras.

Unfortunately, money talks, so I'm betting after the race, he'll get away with just a time penalty. Ideally, he should have been disqualified from the race straight away, and fined for reckless driving.

That's a fair point. I miss that too, but I'm still enjoying the races when I can. :) Just fingers crossed for rain or a safety car. :p

Well done Webber, exciting end to that race, shame Button couldn't capitalise a bit more, was less than a sec behind senna for the last 10 laps or so and couldn't get anywhere.

Also I quite like this new ceremony with interviews...except the flags on spinning boards...needs to be a traditional flag!

And Fans being allowed onto the track at the end as it should be!

Will look forward to Maldonado having his Super License revoked. Full respect to Perez for having the balls to stand up and say what he really thinks about him. By the sound of it the same sentiment is shared with most of the paddock. Williams wouldn't dare do anything themselves though, Maldonado's sponsors bring too much money to the team.

A pretty abysmal race for the Brits on the grid but I don't think you can be too harsh on teams choosing the wrong strategy. They had barely any dry practice and no one could have said which combination of tyres would be fastest - who would have thought the difference between a HHS and a SHH strategy could be so significant?

di Resta was really unlucky but Force India didn't look to be anywhere today.

Well done to Webber. I thought Alonso had it in the bag since he had a big gap and fresh soft tyres, but Webber came through pretty easily in the end.

Lotus must have a win coming before the summer break.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
