I know it's FP1 so this means nothing, but it's quite telling that RBR's were so close and didn't even use the Ultra. I can keep hoping that come the race they will be challenging at the front but I know when it comes down to it Merc are going to turn it up and disappear.

Yeah, they're just sandbagging.

Anyone else wondering we might get a repeat of this tomorrow...?

 

 

I'll win £250 if Hamilton and Rosberg do the same. :p (Not necessarily at the start, just anytime during the race and it causes at least one of them to retire from the race.)

Man of the race: Nico Rosberg

Reject of the race: Lewis Hamilton

Why reject of the race?  Because he tried to do all he could to win the world title?

Yeah, his bias is clearly showing there. Palmer or Ocon should be branded the reject of the race.

I consider Hamilton reject of the race because of how he tried to win the WDC. If Rosberg had backed up the field like Hamilton did, you'd be all over him and accuse him of unfair methods.

Balls would we; it isn't against the rules, so there'd be nothing to complain about.

 

One thing we can be all over Rosberg for though is trying to get the higher-ups at Mercedes to order Hamilton to let him past, since he couldn't pass him fair and square, and Mercedes said earlier that they wouldn't interfere in the title battle.

Hamiltons goal as a formula one driver is to win the world title.  If that means slowing everyone down so that your nearest competitor finishes lower than he would in a normal race then so be it - nothing against the rules.  It is up to the other drivers to do what they have to do to win.

 

If Hamilton had tried to run Rosberg off the track (as has happened in past championships) then yes, he would be reject of the race/year.

 

He did all he could within the rules to win, but failed.

Come on, you and I both know better from watching F1 over the past years.

 

Note: I'm not a huge fan of either Mercedes driver. I'd rather see Fernando Alonso have a shot at a third title.

OK, I can't speak for anyone else on here, but I stand by what I said. Hamilton's a prick, so I wouldn't have had much sympathy for him if Rosberg were ahead and did the same thing. 

 

And speaking of Alonso...

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.

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

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
