Interesting, might have to read the press conf.

Also that's not the incident. That's turn 8 I think in the vid, the incident note says it was between turns 4 and 5, which is the main straight, lap before he pushed Alonso off the right hand side of the straight, Alonso had 2 wheels on the grass.

Nothing wrong with what he did in that vid, Mag has track position and has the right to take the racing line and squeeze Alonso off, what you can't do is push them off while going down the straight as that's not taking the racing line.

Yeah, my mistake; I missed the actual incident, so I assumed it was that one. Too late to edit it. :pinch:

just read this in the autosport forums:

 

EB said on the BBC that McLaren will decide their driver line-up for next season within the next couple of weeks, so a possible Monza announcement?

 

can anyone with access to BBC confirm this? before this weekend the consensus seemed to be that mclaren won't announce any driver-lineup before end of the year.

monza makes me think of a possible alonso transfer. it would be a classical ron dennis imho. didn't he also announce that mclaren got vodafone from ferrari back in 2007 exactly in monza?

Just checked and there's no mention of that anywhere; can't see anything on Twitter either. I did hear a little chat regarding Button's future after the race on the BBC coverage, but that was it. As for Alonso, Eddie Jordan was claiming that he'd actually met with Red Bull over the weekend.

i heard the redbull rumor too in conncetion with vettel having signed for mclaren. but would alonso really move to redbull and facing ricciardo? i think a mclaren move seems to be more save as long as he can get n1 status in his contract which honda for sure would do as they really need a worldchampion in their team and sorry, i like button, but he is not doing it.

At the moment in time it's questionable whether McLaren offers him a better deal than he already has. The Honda engine is a bit of an unknown quantity but they have the most powerful engine in F1 at the moment and are hardly producing anything impressive with it. Whereas if they get an engine to match Red Bull do still have a good race winning chassis.

in the meantime you can play a game.

Which McLaren Driver are you?

 

i got:bruce mclaren

 

You?re the boss, the gaffer, the leader ? the guy who runs the team, and a pretty good engineer, too. If you?re not strapped into the cockpit, you?re most likely to be found with a pen and pad designing the next racing machine. Or underneath one, fixing it?

I got Alain Prost.

You?re so studious, it?s a wonder you even needed to take this quiz! Your sophisticated tastes mean that you enjoy a life of elegance and refinery far beyond the noisy, greasy confines of a racing car. Still, let your (curly) hair down a bit ? life isn?t a classroom!

According to AMuS, some insiders find out, that there is back backdoor in Alonso's contract.

He could be free at 1st of September, if the residue to the WM leader is more than 25 points.

Mercedes says it has ?disciplined? Nico Rosberg for colliding with Lewis Hamilton during last weekend?s Belgian Grand Prix. Exclusive to Sniff Petrol, here are the details of his punishment.

 
- Must spend next calendar month referring to Lewis Hamilton as ?Tron du Awesome?.
 
- Must swap Mercedes SL63 AMG for A180 diesel and is ?forbidden? from using the air-con even if he is ?really sweaty?.
 
- Must agree to have official FIA entry name for Italian GP changed to ?Nipple Cockberg?.
 
- Must undertake unpleasant new viral video task entitled ?The Mice Bucket Challenge?.
 
- Must agree to eat one item made by each sponsor, even if they sell something that will taste awful such as Petronas or Monster.
 
- Must change ring tone to sound of Niki Lauda repeatedly shouting ?BALLBAG? through a trombone.
 
- Must give up ticket for forthcoming team away-day to World Of Owl.
 
- Must not drive into team mate like a stupid ######.

@LorenzoDL83: Still going on the negotiations for the renewal of #Alonso, #Ferrari is not willing to increase the engagement of the Spaniard

 

so that's either alonso staying for the same pay or off to mclaren-honda.

however if the rumors of montezemolo out and brawn in at ferrari are any true, i expect alonso to stay where he is.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Case_f · Posted

      My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Legend20 · Posted

      The perception of Microsoft Edge is unfortunate as it's a world class browser. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best browser I've ever used with its feature set, speed, reliability and advanced security. Running the extension Ublock Origin is a must though to deal with advertising and trackers.
