Hamilton's pole might be under threat.

Stewards are investigating whether his car was under fuelled for the final leg of the qualification. When he pulled off the track he had only 1.3 L of fuel left.Had he gone till the pits, he'd not have been able to provide the 1 L of fuel necessary for a sample.

Hamilton himself might have done nothing wrong, yet F1 is the driver and the car. Since refuelling is completely under the control of the team, the penalty is justified.

As for 10th or last, I guess the penalty clause strips the driver of his Qualifying sessins completely, hence 24th.

After the torrid time Williams had last year, they must be pleased as punch to be back on pole. Alonso on 2nd..Massa on 16th (After Hamilton's downgrade). The performance can't be THAT bad..

Expecting a good start to the race tomorrow, Schumacher to make up a few. And with all due respect and consideration towards drivers' safety, maybe a bit of a pile up?

It sucks for Hamilton but the stewards have to send a message for this kind of thing. ?100,000 per weekend is nothing if a team could do it all year and end up winning the constructors championship. The rules are clear and you don't want teams trying to bend them to their advantage. At least this way, everyone knows where they stand.

This has happened before, they got a fine. They should have gotten a greater fine not penalising the driver for something he has no control over.

The thing is that nowadays F1 is a team "sport". Therefore if there is a slip up like this, the team should be penalised.

What a joke.

Why is it whenever Hamiltons concerned he gets the most severe punishments, Rosberg barges people off the track and no one says jack ****.

The engineers under fueled the car, punish the team not the driver.

Not to mention the four or five cars that all pulled off straight after the finish line in Bahrain. From something I read earlier, the rule applies to both qualifying and the race so... if true then it says a lot about FIA consistency.

Hamilton needs to leave McLaren IMHO. Number of mistakes they have made recently is unbelievable.

Hopefully we'll have a good race tomorrow. Wouldn't mind seeing one of the Lotus' get the win. Nor would I the Williams, except for Maldonado driving it.

I expect one of the Lotus to win the race. Then again with the grid mixed up as it is and cars being as closely matched as they are this season anything is possible. Even a Williams win..

Can all the Englishmen on this thread stop complaining about LH please? :)

Too bad I cannot watch the full race due to office, but I watched the ESPN backstory about cargo shipping in F1 done by DHL and that was interesting and even better than actual race!

      I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.

      While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
