Ferrari's my fav team (has been since I got into F1 in '96), but I really hope they struggle this season. Living in the US, I usually need to wake up @ 5:30 AM local time to watch the qualifying and race. It's much easier to wake up to the excitement of not knowing who will win.

Great drive by Fernando and Trulli. I think the incident between Webber and Fisichella was really really stupid and totally unnecessary. Can't imagine Webber getting impatient to overtake and that costed him a podium. From how I see it, Webber should be blamed because he didnt give much room for Fisichella and also considering Fisichella's condition, Webber should have been smart enough to overtake much later instead of colliding with each other. Anyway, great to see different faces on the podium after 2 races. Hope we'll have an interesting season this time around rather than a Ferrari domination.

Shocked to see Ferrari without any pace. Surely can't be the car, must be the tyres, very surprising.

Great to see Renault at full speed. Alonso is a fantastic driver and Trulli also in Toyata - congrats to them on their first grand prix podium and Nick Heidfield also in the Williams, I didn't think he was that good of a driver but looks like Williams made the right decision.

The new season has started very well with some strong performances by Renault, Wasn't predicting that at the end of the last year and we will have to see how the new rules are being played out. I think they need stronger tyres for the whole race.

Where was BAR? 2 engine failures, come on, this is Honda we are talking about. Honda = reliable, very surprising. Lets hope they can fix that soon

honda placed a new engine in the BAR- thats why it failed, by new i mean a new designed engine- probably wasnt fully tested- even then it should have lasted longer than 3laps.!!

well done to renualt team- done a very good job- but shame about webber- from my point of view it was a racing incident- webber left him plenty of space on the inside- fisichella just went into the turn just too fast and ended up sliding in the side of webbers car.

but the biggest dsiappointment was kimi's puncture- :( he got out of his first pit stop and jumped 2 places- then bam.!! puncture and lost all that hard work.. ferrari will definatly up thier game- they came to malaysia knowing they didnt have a good package- ferrari can definatly turn it around- but BAR this season seem to very off the performance-as Button said on TV.

Sad day for BAR, very unlucky.

Shuhei Nakamoto, Honda Engineering Director: "We're sorry to the team and drivers about the engine problems. At the moment we think it is the same problem as yesterday. We will be getting a countermeasure in place in time for the Bahrain Grand Prix."

What a douche.

I feel bad for Davidson, 3rd start and he still hasn't managed to finish a race. But I'm sure they'll turn it around.

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
