Man of the race: Vettel, for making an amazing come back

Reject of the race: The producer who decided in the final lap to show us the fiance of one of the drivers rather than the tense battle between Hamilton and Rosberg.

 

Great race.

that. was. boring.

 

only good thing to see was vettel coming back from so far behind. mercedes could have easily lapped all cars if they really pushed. i can only see a wet race in monaco the only possibility for redbull to win. all others are way too much back.

I thought the producing was pretty average full stop tbh. The 2 leading cars are engaged in a tense battle so the prats decide to follow the 2 ferraris around instead. What the hell?

 

A lot of people question the way Lewis Hamilton handles pressure, and once again he sent them a strong message today. An outstanding performance, and the mercs lapped everyone up to 7th. Absolutely ominous for their competition.

Got to remember the FOM controls the raw stream and the producer is always from the host country, so naturally the fanatical Spaniards focus on Alonso.

I can't count how many times I was screaming at the TV... I don't want to see that, show me Hamilton and Rosberg!!!

I can't believe another split strategy technically worked in Rsobergs favour and he still couldn't get past, I wonder when Hamilton will finally say to his engineers why do you keep doing this to me. I know sometimes its drivers choice too but sooner or later Rosberg will get past.

if hami starts to whine now over strategy that would make him a bigger crybaby than alonso ever was.

its quite simple: the driver starting at the front gets the better strategy (read the wolff interview) the other one can only try to pass via strategy, overtaking the same car with same engine, same topspeed is basically impossible still.

and yeh, i better hope for the odd race where rosberg wins over hamilton because he could be the only one to win races this year.

except monaco, mercedes will win all races this year, drivers like vettel, alonso, button, they all say mercedes this year is even more dominant than mclaren in 1988 or ferrari in 2002.

 

my advice to hamilton is to just stay focused and calm. he is easily better than rosberg, the next 2 tracks are amongs his favorite ones. hungary, singapore, abu dhabi should all go to hamilton as well.

the only thing dangerous is, if hamilton starts to to what he did in 2007. playing the crybaby instead of racing. that ended bad in 2007 and would end as bad in 2014. but he was without title for 6 years. he should have learned.

Just think of all those valuable sponsorship dollars he brings in though! At the end of the season, they'll probably have made a small profit on hiring him, after you take out all the deductibles. Should be just about enough to buy lunch.

This week's news story we wish would be true...

A few months ago PDVSA promised Lotus $40m if they let Pastor Maldonado drive in Formula 1. In a shock move today, the other drivers in the 2014 championship have promised Lotus $42m if they don?t.
 
?Enough is enough. The rest of the field had to take action before he took them all out,? said source close to the drivers? coalition. ?So they had a whip round and they reckon they?ve got enough to outbid the Venezuelans, plus a bit left over to replace the useless lunatic with lovely dependable Nick Heidfeld who is really good at getting out of the way and basically drives for tips.?
 
Our source claims the only drivers who haven?t pitched in to buy the freewheeling pay driver?s absence from F1 are Fernando Alonso, who is too busy huffing around saying he?s not going to win anything, and Jenson Button whose season has been so disappointing he thinks having an erratic Venezuelan buffoon on the track can?t make things any worse.
 
?This isn?t cheap for the drivers but they think it?s worth it,? our source admitted. ?Also, they hope to get some of the cash back with donations from the crowds after reminding them that, without this buy out, they could have been hit in the eye by a flying piece of carbon fibre when Maldonado twatted into another car on lap 24 as usual.?
 
To find out if the new offer had been accepted, Sniff Petrol attempted to speak to Pastor Maldonado via Skype but he had somehow managed to crash his computer.

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
