It was extremely tacky. They're trying desperately to Americanise the sport, pandering to spectacle over substance, when the sport was doing just great without it. I really hope this doesn't become a permanent addition.

I think I'd be ok with it if they kept it just for the US GP; pretty much the only place they could get away with this, as it's their schtick. At least it provided a few funny moments, like Kvyat formally being nicknamed "The Torpedo".

No contest for Driver of the Day this time; Hamilton deserved it 100%. And well done to Verstappen too on breaking Montoya's race lap record from 2004.

F1 didn't tweet the usual timing screens for the practice sessions this time, and I can't be arsed to screenshot them, so straight to qualifying!

 

They're also revealing a new logo tomorrow: https://auto.ndtv.com/news/f1-2017-all-new-formula-1-logo-to-be-revealed-at-abu-dhabi-gp-1779943

 

So qualifying was the last time we see this one...

Hard to believe it's 23 years old.

It reminds me of the Wipeout games, so I quite like it. Obviously not as good as the previous logo - it could really do with some colour in it - but at least they didn't go with one of the other two...

It's very PlayStation-like, especially the font. Too much red for my liking, though; I reckon a black F (or double-r, more like) with just the red 1 would work better. I knocked up a quick-and-dirty version of it just now from the Twitter pic...

      They themselves used AI slop to convert its C++ codebase to Rust. But I do agree with their concerns.

    • Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs by Usama Jawad Late last year, Microsoft planned to begin the automatic installation of the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on certain Windows PCs. However, in March 2026, it disabled this process due to a technical issue and informed customers that it would let them know when it would resume. It seems like that was only a temporary respite, as the Redmond tech giant has started the forced installation of the app on eligible devices. In an update on its Message Center for IT admins, Microsoft has informed customers that it is resuming the automatic installation of the Microsoft 365 Copilot on commercial Windows PCs that have Microsoft 365 apps already installed. What this means is that if you have Microsoft Office apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more installed on your Windows PC through a Microsoft 365 license, you'll likely see the Microsoft 365 Copilot app pop up in your Installed Apps section soon, too. Fortunately, IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app. However, phased rollout via feature flags has already begun and is expected to be completed by the end of June: Feature Flag1: started Jun 4, expected to finish June 10 Feature Flag2: expected to start on June 11, expected to finish on June 17 MSGraph schema rollout: expected to start on June 18, expected to finish on June 24 Feature Flag3: expected to start on June 25, expected to complete by July 1st Microsoft hasn't detailed what the process is to toggle the feature flags in its Message Center, and its public support page does not seem to mention it yet either. The Redmond tech giant has encouraged IT admins to let users know beforehand so they aren't caught by surprise to see a new app seemingly installed without manual interaction or their consent. Users who already have the app installed or are based in the European Economic Area (EEA) are unaffected by this move, which Microsoft has understandably flagged as a "major change".
