Kimi Raikkonen (unsure about the spelling) is the name of the guy, McLaren is the name of the team.

Good for Webber, 1st podium finish, about time too!

Not a fan of Ferrari so glad to see McLaren doing so well this year. I wish there was better coverage in the U.S. with regards to F1. I am a fan of CART/IRL/NASCAR, but F1 far and away has the best pool of talent. They can actually turn left and right on the same course.

LOL, yeah, I always feel NASCAR and such are silly for that. Round and round they go... Whyyy...

It feels like such a loser sport, although I guess it still isn't. It just looks silly when you think about it. :)

Well an upside is they can easily build arenas for them. :rolleyes:

This race was in Monaco too, so it was even more different than usual. :)

That's another thing I like about it -- truly international; regarding where they race too, and all laps having their personality, requiring both different kind of drivers skills *and* different kinds of car balancing.

I also like that other teams are having success this time around and not just Ferrari dominating. Actually, they have particularly much trouble this year.

There is no way that F1 has a better pool of talent than NASCAR. The guys in NASCAR come up driving on dirt tracks, road courses, and ovals. You can take Tony Stewart or Jeff Gordan and either one is more talented than any F1 driver. In fact Jeff Gordan did a "car swap" with Juan Pablo Montoya last year and made him look silly. There are only 2 road courses in NASCAR at the moment, but I think they are planning a 3rd in Mexico City. It's quite a sight seeing 3,000lb full body stock cars sliding through the turns :)

On Topic: I'm glad McLaren is doing well...Kimi and Team West are my by far my favorites. Glad they got rid of DC.

Speed channel airs the practices, qualifiers and the race. And I believe CBS or one of the broadcast networks is airing a few races this season too.

/\ Yea I think that you can also watch the races on Speed also...normally they start around 1am or so?

They play them live, so the time will vary has the season progresses through each time zone. There's also a repeat on Speed sometime during the day.

IMO you simply cannot compare :rolleyes: A NASCAR driver will not do well on an F1 track and vice versa.

what a shame for kimi yesterday.. :( the suspension failed in the last lap.. mclaren gambled in not changing the tyre and lost.  they should have pitted and at least got a few more points.

and what caused the suspension failure, KIMI if he hadnt have flat spotted the tyre he would have been fine but no he pushed over his limit,

Mclaren got there just deserts

I think Kimi would still have gotten a podium finish had he pitted to fix the tire. I guess he went all or nothing but he just dug himself in a deeper hole while Alonso gained another 10pts and he finished with 0. It would have been amazing if he could keep up ahead of Alonso for 2more laps we would have had a very close finish.

anyways, lets get ready for the Montreal GP :):) can't wait!

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
