Typhoon poses threat to Japanese Grand Prix

 

A typhoon over the Pacific Ocean has the potential to turn Sunday's grand prix into a washout if its path continues towards Japan.

Typhoon Phanfone is forecasted to pass south of Suzuka although the rain bands on its northern edge could affect Sunday's race by causing heavy rain and high winds. The FIA is monitoring the weather system ahead of the weekend but there is no precedent for a race cancelled due to weather.

any comments to the supposed alonso-mclaren deal? i think there is a quite a mclaren bias here in the forums and alonso seems to be rated extremely high as well, just looking at the polls from latest years.

 

i think it's awesome news if true, and it seems to happen. all i can say is welcome home nando!

It'd be amazing to see Alonso back at Mclaren, I'd be surprised too. Alonso seems to be denying the discussion at the moment though.

 

I just wish for this weekend Kamui was in a competent car so we could see a repeat of 2012. There really is something special about the whole crowd chanting your name when you're stood on the podium.

:woot:  so redbull officially confirmed that vettel leaves them, and they will replace him with kvyat ... that means, and i don't expect any mercedes driver to leave that dominant car, that alonso basically can just go to mclaren-honda. :D

hm there is this rumor in the autosport forums now that mercedes won't renew with hamilton after 2015, so alo might sit out next year and then join mercedes. but i am very sceptical about this. opinions can change quickly and maybe mercedes will think differently in 2015. i'd rather see and hope alonso will join mclaren honda.

Jean-Eric Vergne has become the second driver this weekend to collect a grid penalty for an engine change.

 
Vergne joins Pastor Maldonado in receiving a ten-place grid penalty having moved onto his sixth different internal combustion engine.
 
Team mate Daniil Kvyat had the same penalty at Monza. All three are Renault engine users.
 
Vergne, who had qualified 11th, will now start 21st alongside Maldonado on the back row of the grid.
 
It is the latest in a series of setbacks for Vergne this weekend. ?I didn?t drive FP1, I had two technical issues in FP2 which shortened my running time, I could complete only 3 laps in FP3 this morning,? he said.
 
?The race is tomorrow and anything can happen, even starting from the back of the grid,? he added.

Red flag after two laps behind the safety car (just to award half points, as per FIA rules); I highly doubt we're getting a race today.

Terrible end to a terrible race.

 

nothing more to say. for years i said that f1 should do what indycar does and only race in the dry. these cars are not made to race in the wet, simple as that.

hope bianchi makes it through.

Thoughts are with Bianchi, but to say F1 shouldn't race in the wet is simply stupid.,

Agreed. However, I think the safety car should've been deployed the second Sutil's car hit the tyre barrier. It's an obvious run off area that is going to be used when it's wet like that.

I don't think they should race in the dry either. Too many accidents occur that way. The cars are simply not made to race in the dry. /s

 

Seriously though, that's a dumb comment. Accidents occur whether wet or dry, day or night. It happens and when it happens, we can't always just ban or stop doing it. Motorsport (in fact, all sports) is full of risks and the drivers, teams, spectators are fully aware of this, take the necessary precautions but sometimes, someone gets unlucky.

that's utter nonsense and you know it. in the dry the tires are right, the brake temperatures are fine, the tire temperatures are fine, ride hight is save, and so on. and ofc you see much better and you can react way faster.

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management.

This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly.

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.

      By Steven P. · Posted

      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/
