Well, I'm glad Alonso didn't win it - he is an petulant kid and his racing has been all over the place this season; he is also a poor sportsman. Still, this year has been the best year for Formula 1 in decades... possibly ever, despite all the scandals / nonsense with the FIA. Hamilton deserved to win but the team failed him yet again. I'm sure Hamilton will go on to do great things as he dominated the season as a newbie - he is a grounded and likeable character; a good role model to children.

@mclaren2 - Are you being serious? If you are then I'm assuming you're Spanish, hence why you seem so set against Hamilton, even going as far as to call him "ugly" - a statement that is patently untrue. It's like you're talking about a completely different sport.

@theyarecomingforyou

first of all. let me guess: you are from gbr/usa right?

and no, i am not spanish, i am from austria, and i liked following drivers in the past: berger, hakkinen, coulthard, raikkonen, montoya, hill, villeneuve, and currently i like alonso and massa. all of them for various reasons, but nationality was never a part of it.

yes, i think hami is ugly. he looks ugly. thats my opinion. why should it be untrue? isn't it just subjective if you find someone good looking or ugly?

He failed himself in the last two races due to his own (rookie) mistakes, but I can bet he learned from them. All he had to do today was just hang in the top 4, but he was overly aggressive @ turn 1 and his race & potential Drivers Championship was pretty much done.

I'm not bashing Hamilton, the kid has some serious skills and I give him props for that. (Y)

Hopefully next year we can just have some good racing without all the crap that left a big brown skidmark on this years season.

horrible result no doubt. at least the ugly hamilton failed to win a gifted wdc.

but raikkonen, a guy who just makes headlines with getting caught drunken somewhere, is not any better.

fernando alonso, despite having the whole team and the FIA against himself, just failed to win his 3rd consecutive wdc by 1 ridiculous point, the point, stolen in hungary by the prooven alonso-hater scott andrews. :pinch:

this year, in f1, was the worst since 1994, with everyone, including the press doing everything preventing alonso of winning his 3rd deserved title. he developped the mp4/22 nearly by himself, a car which failed to win 1 single race in 2006 to the best car in the grid this year in nearly 2 months over the winter.

but it was not meant to be.- british nationalists and the italian mafia both working 200% to get their own agenda through, finally succeeded in destroying everything.

very sad day for the sport. f1 is not the sport anymore it uses to be many many (glory) years ago.

yeah, i get what you're saying, but the sport is a lot more interesting nowadays. i used to cheer for shumi, but he dominated and that wasn't fun. F1 made most money than any other year last year and their ratings were much higher than those glory years you're talking about.

I was a Shumi fan since his Benetton days then with Ferrari, and despite that, it did get boring watching him win all the time with little challenge from anyone else.

Problem was that they dare not challenge him incase he rammed them off the track.

You got a valid point there. :laugh: Some of his "tactics" were questionable to say the least (eg. Monte Carlo, parking it in La Rascasse so Alonso couldn't take pole away from him).

Breaking news just on bbc news, BMW could be disqualified due to fuel irregularities and Hamilton could win the championship as he would move up to 5th place finish.

I would post a link to the news but as i said, it was just breaking news on BBC so nothing online yet.

looks like i'd maybe have to modify that quote.

what do we have already?

the crane, hungary, fuji, interlagos quali, interlagos race.

sport is dead.

and i remember mosleys reaction after interlagos 95 affair.

i fear the worst for raikkonen (undeserved) and ferrari (deserved).

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
