F1 World Championship 2008 Thread



Recommended Posts

I can't wait for the BBC to release who will be part of the team. I hope they keep similar features that ITV have. Such as, a video of the circuit with one of the drivers and the walk around. Thank god there will be no breaks as well. Surely they can get Murray Walker to do at least one, just to toast the return. I wonder if this means we can see practice laps on BBCi as well. We might even see Suzi Perry as well!

Quick edit:

Think of the HD content as well. No doubt BBC would like to broadcast this in HD.

just watched the 1st practice session, massa fastest by just over a second (will post the full results when they appear somewhere), kimi's engine seemed to pack in *again* :D other things of note, webbers engine blew and coulthard hit a kerb when rejoining the track after running wide and ending losing his front wheels, not a good start for red bull :/

lewis was 5th and alonso 6th i think, not sure on that, imo raikkonen/lewis/kovaleinen weren't at full speed and i'd expect them to improve in session 2

Maybe they were looking at just going till they run out of fuel, and just used to much so he couldn't get back.

Overall this second practice has been about nice shots instead.

Alonso second gear wasn't working and a few people spun and locking wheels. Bourdais broke down not long after he came out.

Seems Red Bull's suspension is under scrutiny. I thought it odd how easily his car fell apart after Massa hit him at Australia. Sure he wasn't going to be able to continue, but it was an awful lot of damage considering the impact. Now it broke when crossing a kurb to rejoin the track...

well the wheels do break off f1 cars incredibly easily.

yea, but not like that. He just ran over a kerb and his both wheels are gone. :blink: I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the suspension broke down very easily.

It's like his car is made of glass. Defienetly weird. :s

All I can say is wow!!

Tbh, I noticed it when DC and Massa collided last weekend at Albert Park, DC's Suspension collapsed really easily! But damn, 2 occurances now is pretty mental!

I hope they sort it out as I do really like the Red Bull Team and was impressed by their performance at Albert Park.

It could be ?hello Richard Hammond? and ?goodbye Gary Lineker? after a dramatic day during which broadcasters battled for Britain?s most popular sports rights.

Hammond, the Top Gear presenter who survived a high-speed crash, is in pole position to become the face of Formula One after the BBC reclaimed the sport in a ?200 million deal.

Weird, considering he doesn't like F1. But I guess ratings are gonna be huge. What if Jeremy and James will :laugh:m? :laugh: I will be downl... will find a way to watch the BBC coverage, that's:shifty:e. :shifty:

As much I love Top Gear I don''t think they should present it, none of them like F1 and it is a serious sport, Top Gear is just a joke around. Hopefully they will get the BBC Radio 5 Live to do it, also the pit lane reporter Holly Samos is easy on the eye...

"When Lewis Hamilton did a test lap on Top Gear it got more viewers than the Brazilian Grand Prix," he explained. "Bernie (Ecclestone) was very impressed with the Top Gear proposition and there will be cross-fertilisation between the show and the races."

I'm not exactly sure how they can cross them. Top Gear comment on the F1 in their news? Do a pre-race feature in each F1 programme? One thing I would like to see is all the drivers to do a lap of the Top Gear track. Could get a real idea of their ability then!

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
