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).

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By matthiew · Posted

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
