Haas I think win reject of the race for Grosjean having such a good quali and then having the car fail...although I suppose that makes reject of the race last years Ferrari engine...

 

HAAS uses the 2017 version of the Ferrari engine if I am not mistaken?

 

Just sauber using the old one.

Reject of the race in my opinion has to be Kevin Magnussen for the entirely unnecessary crash with Ericsson.

Still a week to go before the Chinese GP, so how about some off-topic racing to help fill in the gaps? Formula E was a bit crazy last night in Mexico...

Yep, I think inter-team battles lead to a better friendlier rivalry so I'm hoping it stays this way for the rest of the season. I can honestly see see-sawing the entire season and it being level at multiple points. It's a refreshing change to see two teams looking so equal, although even if that is only true so far of two of the four drivers.

 

Great race outside of the top spot too, looked like there was battles all throughout the entire field.

It has been an entertaining race. I'm pleased by the amount of non-DRS overtakes, such as Vettel vs Ricciardo.

 

Going by the laptimes during the race we could very well have a three team battle for the WCC/WDC. RBR are not far behind Mercedes and Ferrari.

I'm not sure RBR are close enough to give a real challenge for the championship, if we have more changeable conditions like we did in China then of course they will be right there in the thick of it. 

 

That opening lap from Verstappen reminded me a great deal of that British race (Donnington?) Where Senna went from 5th to 1st within the first lap. Also, watch long enough to see the save. If you had similar covered as I did then you won't have seen it during the race.

Unfortunately, I think after the last two weekends from Giovinazzi, I'm not sure Sauber can afford Wehrlein to be out of the car anymore. He looked to have good pace in him but he showed he doesn't have the experience to jump in an F1 car right now.

Sadly, I agree. There's only so many mistakes you can make (especially at the same stretch of track) before the lack of experience starts to show through. All the best to him though and I hope that spurs him on

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
