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.

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
