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.

    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
    • I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html
    • AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
