"A street circuit without the houses" as former driver Martin Brundle once described it, the hot and dusty Hungaroring is tough for drivers but not great for racing, even taking into account changes made in 2003.

Fortunately, wonderful Budapest is just down the road. It is one of the world's great cities, even if its seediness level has grown in recent years.

Im Holding off my predictions till after Practice on Friday. Though fingers crossed button will be strong. But Current trends point to Schumy again.

BUTTON MAKES SHOCK WILLIAMS RETURN

30635_1.gif

Jenson Button will make a sensational return to Williams next year, according to reports.

Button rejoins the team he made his F1 debut with in 2000. He will partner Mark Webber in an all-new driver line-up.

The Brit said: "I am very pleased that I had the option to re-join the BMW Williams team where my Formula 1 career started.

"For the meantime the 2004 season has my full focus and attention.

"Beyond this, I have every confidence that the massive investment in resources and the depth of talent at Williams and BMW provides the best platform for my future ambitions to be a world champion."

Looks like Jenson Buttons got some better offers to return to Williams, but he faced the press before the GP this week and is now saying "NO COMMENT" On the Matter. But he?s looking to be in contract wrangling?s these past weeks.

BUTTON: "NO COMMENT!" [/b]?

Jenson Button and Mark Webber faced the press in Hungary on the eve of this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix. But Button, who is still in the middle of contractual wranglings with BAR-Honda was unable to add any new comment to that situation, answering most questions with a resounding "no comment."

He was however, able to share his thoughts on this weekend's race and how he feels about prospective Williams team mate Mark Webber.

"He really works hard which is fantastic to see," said Button. "He puts in a lot of effort in every area and I think he would be a big bonus to any team in Formula 1."

Button added that there was no hostility from within the BAR team garage following his shock announcement that he intends to drive for Williams in 2005.

"The atmosphere is OK, it's fine," he added. "We are all here to do a job. We are here to race, and we are here to hopefully get our best result this year.

?It won?t be the easiest weekend of my life,? he continued,?but I?ve got a job to do here in Hungary and I?m very much looking forward to this weekend.

And it looks like Coulthard might have a drive at BAR if Jenson Moves and Hakkinen has also hinted at BAR move in his bid to return to F1 racing.

COULTHARD ANGLES FOR BAR [/b]GLES FOR BAR

30857_1.jpg

David Coulthard says he is "highly motivated", as the Formula 1 game of crazy musical chairs continues. With Jenson Button expected to cement his move to Williams, DC has become the obvious replacement at BAR.

In Thursday's pre-race press conference, Coulthard was not slow to point out his own record, write his CV, post his application, and praise the efforts of BAR Honda this year.

Despite BAR team principal David Richards vowing to fight to retain his man, the general paddock consensus seems to be that it is pointless trying to hang on to a driver who has made it plain he wants to drive for another team. Richards and his lawyers might think differently, however. More..Will update with results to qualifying and race results as/when they happen. they happen.

You've been on f1-live.com haven't you. Anyway... my tactics for this race would be simple (as Jenson Button). Hire the Minardi team to take-out the Ferrari's of Schumacher and Rubens, and be Very, VERY quick... and don't make any mistakes. Ever.

Ive been on loads of sites :p

And yeah that sounds a great idea for a race strategy ... me emails BAR with it ;)

Yes, and it reeks.

Don't take my opinion for it, try it yourself. I noticed that it doesn't drive as well as other, older sims (GPx series, F1C). Sony made it into an arcade game, with bad graphics to boot.

Yep so true, its dire.

Dam you sony for buying the licenece and killing F1 games :(

the EA F1 games where poor, too far away from a sim. Sony's F1 games are more realisitc without going too hardcore. But don't worry guys, if all goes to plan, my year out in industry from Uni next year (2005-2006) will be spent in Sony's Studio Liverpool (where the F1 games are made) who take students from my uni and my course in uni for that year out...so I am hoping for that...

Also, GO TAKU!! :p

Didn't know Hakkinen was coming back... cool.

Hoping for a 'Anyone but Schumy' win I'm afraid. Got great respect for the guy, but he's buggered it for the spectators, not on his own.

Aren't there also plans to limit car specifications even more, slowing down the racing? ....sigh

Button or the renaults to win.

(Y)

*Edit* Sato can win aswell... :p

^^^- Why? If other companies are not capable of producing good cars why shoud Ferrari be limited! It will drive progress down. As long as there's Ferrari other companies will try to beat it - thus will improve their cars, engines...

In the end - we, general customers will benefit from these improvements!

Go Schumacher! Go Ferrari! Congrats!!! And good luck!

    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
