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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
