Man  of the race for me has to be Fernando Alonso. His drive to fifth in the McLaren was impressive. Similarly, his team mate driving from 19th to 9th is also nothing to scoff at.

 

Rejects of the race: The Ferrari mechanics who botched up KR's pit stop, leading to his retirement.

That or Max coming in for a pit stop with no warning.

Pit calls are normally very clear, "BOX BOX BOX, Pit confirm and Box" kinda thing, I don't really believe Max saying "I thought you called me in".

Even if he did, surely he would have then hit pit confirm, signalling the garage he was on he way, in which case their fault and should have been ready.

 

Though I suppose since he had the gearbox failure Ferrari's had a more significant impact on the results and so they still win the reject award.

Men of the race have to the the Red Bull pit crew for still being able to push the car through with 0 warning

Ah Max has said:

Quote

“They told me to push hard the lap before so I thought that was an indication to box,” he told reporters after the race. “So I drove into the pit lane and suddenly realised they didn't box me. That was definitely my fault and not very clever, but it didn't make any difference.

Two last races stewards were at historical low. Doing everything they want.  Double standards all around. When Perez moved in front of Kvyat, it was Kvyat's fault, when Vettel moves in front of Ricciardo trying to get around Verstappen who was clearly outbreaking him, it's Vettel's fault. When Grosjean pushesh Kvyat out of track, it's Kvyat's fault again. When Rosberg pushes Hamilton out of track in same situation, it's Rosberg's fault.

 

F1 needs some more open sporting regulation. Current system was faulty out of beginning.

So that makes Verstappen the youngest driver to come 3rd, 4th, and 5th in the same race :laugh:

 

The regulation system is atrocious.

Well that was one of the strangest race finishes I've seen in a while, half expected to see Vettel park up behind Verstappen under the podium.

Still all in all I'm quite glad Ricciardo ended 3rd, Vettel didn't deserve it after the radio comments, and not sure Max did either, was the penalty too harsh, probably...but he did go way off track, and Vettel was much close than the 1st lap run off with Ham and Ros.  So I can kinda see why there was a difference in action there, plus 1st lap incidents are generally never penalised as harshly because 1st lap is always a bit mad.

Big news if Auto Bild is to be believed: Ross Brawn has signed a contract with Liberty Media to take over as Bernie Ecclestone's successor. http://www.autobild.de/artikel/formel-1-news-brawn-neuer-f1-boss-10970997.html (German)

Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu. Video editing features: Multi-track editing with a timeline and supports an unlimited number of video and audio tracks. A built-in title editor and tools to create, move, crop and delete video clips, audio clips, text clips and image clips. Ability to add custom effects and transitions.

Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive. Built-in audio mixer Kdenlive 26.04.2 changelog: Remove not needed actions from render info, fix rough size calculation for rendering.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
