Tyre gambling gone a step too far. They should have sent R?ikk?nen out again.

Kimi should not have had such a slow time so I put the blame on him. I think it's time for Ferrari to part ways with him before they lose any more constructors points,

Sorry Kimi you have always been my #2 but Ricciardo has now taken that spot. Go rallying or something!

sorry lewis, but public should be NO place to show your religious symbols. this is highly annoying and not fitting at all.

If Lewis want to carry symbols of a human sacrifice around his neck that's his business. Let's no go overboard with things.

 

human sacrifice? i see only a symbol of bigotry, war, discrimination, and so on ... especially considering lewis behavior elsewhere.

senna at least was credible with his religion.

I'm glad Lewis refused to let Nico get past. The 2 seconds or so that would have cost him would have made a big difference. And I really can't see how the team could ever have expected him to agree to that.

Can someone tell me why Kimi had to start from the pitlane? Can't find any news on it. I woke up late and had to watch a delayed broadcast from NBCSN.

 

And what whining of Nico are we talking about? I just saw him in a post race interview saying nothing. That it had to be discussed internally...unlike Hami, that always flaps his lips.

Two radio messages were broadcast where Nico was asking when Lewis was going to move over for him.

OK. Sorry. I was groggy when I started watching it and thought I heard the NBCSN crew say Kimi was starting from the pitlane. Just rewatched the start and saw that he did in fact start from the grid.

 

As to Nico's radio messages; he was asking because the team told him Hami was going to let him pass. I wouldn't call that "whining". "Whining" is Lewis asking why he wasn't pitted ahead of Nico in Monaco when Nico had the strategy call.

 

Having said that, I totally think Lewis should not have let him past as Nico wasn't near enough. In the end, I'm not sure if he let him past as the director did not show the actual pass. Probably didn't.

Driver of the day: Fernando or Lewis. Pit lane to podium is superhuman, and taking that Ferrari on to the podium is pretty damn impressive too. Ricciardo benefited more from the strategy of the team, so less personal "wow" on show.

 

Reject of the race: Nobody stood out as a lot were caught out by the weather, but Pastor Maldonado hit someone again and it's just not a surprise to anybody at this point. The move he tried was more than a little bit optimistic, and I just don't understand how he's still in the sport.

If this German article is to be believed, Bernie's shelved the standing safety car restart idea. Please let it be true...  :innocent:

Auto Motor und Sport is usually a reliable source of information. Here's hoping they're right.

    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
