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.

    • 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.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
