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

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
