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.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
