Did I miss something? Have we skipped the end of 2017 and gone straight to April 1, 2018?
 

Oh get lost Mclaren, you should be supporting Silverstone rather than stepping into replacing them before they've even lost the battle :@

Mclaren marketing team: "This'll be a great idea!"
5 mins later - "This was not a good idea"

Wonder if that has something to do with the much rumoured McLaren-Renault announcement? Or maybe simply due to the poor engine? Leaves the question...who will they use? I doubt they'd use Mercedes. Maybe the Ferrari engine freed up from Torro-Rosso, providing they move to Honda? Maybe the rumoured Porsche engines? Who knows?!

It's all a bit crazy at the moment. There was also a rumour going around last week that Carlos Sainz is heading to Renault - presumably replacing Jolyon Palmer - even as soon as Malaysia; if so, Pierre Gasly will get the Toro Rosso seat, which would be interesting...

I heard the same thing.

 

I don't see Merc or Ferrari willing to supply a team like RB and that only leaves Honda right now. However, I think RB is more likely to quit the sport then take a Honda engine at this point. At this point, I honestly believe Honda is doing more damage to the sport than good.

 

They've had a team like Mclaren floundering at the back of the grid if finishing at all for three years. It would seem Mclaren have now somehow convinced Renault to drop their support for RB in favour of the. This will now leave us with what is arguably one of the most exciting driver pairings on the grid either relegated to the back or without a team.

 

Time will tell what is about to happen but I think at best we'll see one team rise with another falling, the only hope is RB will have that rumoured Porsche deal sorted before 2019

Hopefully Proche has a better chance if it does come in having made WEC Hybrid engines for a fair few years.

Honda just never got ontop of the Hybrid in F1, yeh their Indy engines and old non-hybrid F1 engines were great, but they just weren't ready to race hybrid.

    • 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.
