Good to hear Kubica is ok. One hell of a crash - the worst I've seen in a while. Was looking pretty serious for a few minutes what with all the medics and lack of movement.

Great job by Hamilton and Heidfeld though. They both kept going perfectly throughout all the mayhem. Really please about Hamilton. :D

Wurz did good too, with the chunk of his rear wing missing. I'm surprised it didn't break or fall off.

Sato was doing brilliant at the end. I was amazed when he beat Ralf in a straight fight, but Alonso? A few more laps and Raikkonen would have been under attack from him too. :laugh:

Alonso drove poorly today. He really had problems with the first corner, and almost committed the biggest no-no of F1.

What a great win for Hamilton.

Truly amazing what he's done so far.

I wouldn't go so far with the comparison's to Ayrton Senna though, they're not in the same league, let's see what Hamilton's accomplished in the next 10 years.

Brilliant drive by Sato aswel, i love him, cheeky chappy.

I totally agree gourjays.

Was one hell of a race.

Sad crash for Kubica and I thought it was going to be real serious until he got out of the car. Fortunately only a broken leg for him.

As for the race well... HAMILTON! Well done to him.

As for Takuma Sato... well what can you say?

Good race and the best so far this season.

I have no idea what happened!! All those pit mistakes, penalties and crashes! It was definitely hectic.

I still cannot believe Sato pass Alonso there in the final laps! wow! And that pass by Alonso in the pits to get a jump on Raikonen? Incredible

Although, I found that Alonso didn't hvae a good race straight from the get-go. He must have cut that chicane 4-5x today.

Can someone please explain to me why Fischicela & Massa got black flagged?

Can someone please explain to me why Fischicela & Massa got black flagged?

pit exit was closed (red light) as the safety car was getting close to the pit straight, and they both left the pit and so left before they were allowed. kubica and 1 or 2 others were the only ones to wait for the green light

Wow what an amazing race! :yes:

I'm glad Kubica is OK, this was the worst crash I have seen in years. And Hamilton was perfect as always... I really hope McLaren will let him fight with Alonso...

p.s. sorry about not posting results, I had problems with my internet connection

After initial reports of a broken leg, Kubica was later said to have suffered concussion and a sprained right ankle.

concussion is to be expected after a crash at that speed, but to come out with no broken bones is a testament to the safety of F1 cars now-a-days

yep. Saw the crash this morning on the news, and couldn't believe he walked away from that. It's just mad. Well done the the engineers of these cars.

Alonso saying Mclaren perfer Lewis over him. He can make me laugh sometimes, he's sour because he had an appauling race. He also can't take it that Mclaren want to at least help Lewis because they spent a lot of time getting him where he is now, not chance of them giving up.

Did he say that? Bitter... A team will always support it's fastest driver if he can win the championship, which Hamilton certainly can. Maybe Alonso should just up his game and stop making stupid mistakes on the very first corner of a race. Hamilton has been nothing but consistent.

Vettel to replace Kubica at Indy

15 June 2007

BMW Sauber's Sebastian Vettel will make his Formula One race debut at this weekend's US Grand Prix after FIA medical staff advised Robert Kubica not to race following his high-speed crash in Canada. Kubica suffered only concussion and a sprained ankle in the Montreal accident and told Thursday's press conference at Indianapolis that he was feeling 100 percent. However, athough the FIA doctors largely agreed, they felt it unwise for the Polish driver to risk the chance of a second concussion in such a short space of time.

The decision means Vettel gets a race call-up, while fellow German tester Timo Glock becomes BMW Sauber's reserve driver at Indy. Vettel, aged just 19, made several impressive third-driver outings with the team in Friday practice sessions last season and this season is competing in the World Series by Renault.

"Of course, I am looking forward to my first F1 race," he said, "but I wish it had come under different circumstances. It's never nice if a team mate can't drive because he had an accident. For me the Indianapolis Speedway is unknown territory, but I have prepared myself for this situation and tomorrow I have two 90 minute practice sessions. I know the car very well as I have quite a lot of testing miles under my belt."

Kubica is expected to return to the cockpit for the French Grand Prix on July 1, assuming he is given the all clear by medics ahead of the Magny-Cours race.

"Naturally I'm disappointed because I felt absolutely ready to race," he said. "But I respect the decision. It was made because there is too much risk to let me race in this Grand Prix in case I have had another impact so soon after Montreal. I will go home now. I wish Sebastian all the best. It is good for him and I am pretty sure he will do a good job."

BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen added: "We respect the decision of the medical personnel. The team was prepared for this situation. Sebastian will receive all possible support from us and we hope for another good race here."

    • I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? You didn't really think this through did you? lol. The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique shaders by using master materials and generating a PSO cache and compiling every shader before loading the game and managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime, it's up to the developer to set all that up properly.
    • I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
    • I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
