I hate hamilton, what a baby he is. I also hate the ITV F1 commentators not its all hamilton, i think they forget there are 21 other drivers and 3 other brits. I dont bother with the prerace stuff now too much hamilton.

Alonso at Ferrari next year with Kimi will dominate F1 only 2 really good drivers in F1.

I hope they investigate the Alonso-Hamilton incident. It's a flat-out exit. Even if the Renault was the slowest accelerating car there (which it isn't) and the McLaren the fastest (which it definitely isn't with their out-of-corner traction problems), Lewis couldn't close in on the Renault that quickly. So Alonso (who was also off-line) had to lift or hit the brakes. The question is was it deliberate or was their some other reason.

It annoys me that things are only investigated if someone complains, especially in incidents like this.

All in all, a far better race than Malaysia. Kubica did well again. McLaren need to solve their rear-wheel traction problems.

On a side note, James Allen has driven me nuts the last few races. Talking as if there are 3 races to go and it's only between Raikkonen and Hamilton...

Ferrari would be more interesting if they'd allow their drivers to overtake on track too, rather than just using the pit lane.

it's not massas fault if his teammate sucks all the time ... :D :laugh:

I cannot stand the media wankfest over him either.

One thing I'll point out (as another forum just uses Allen as an excuse to bash Lewis), is that before Lewis, all we heard about was Raikkonen and before that, Schumacher.

The most annoying part about Allen is the things like "Lewis is in damage limitation mode today, starting from 3rd...". What the hell? What's wrong with 3rd? Surely Raikkonen's championship hopes had disintegrated for starting in fourth? Then in the race "Lewis' championship hopes are dropping away..." (something like that). Doesn't James Allen realise there are still another 15 races to go!

Don't get me wrong, I like Lewis, but Allen's over exaggeration at every little mistake and constant talking about Lewis is getting extremely annoying.

Regards the Lewis-Alonso incident, Renault have apparently released telemetry showing Alonso didn't stop accelerating. I've now looked at a video of it on YouTube (won't post a link as they get removed quickly).

I think Alonso came slightly wide out of the corner (some videos show it better than others, but his rear right was over the kurb) and then, going slower, was able to pull right over the slightly off-camber right-hand turn to defend against Hamilton. Meanwhile Hamilton also tried to pull right to get a run up the inside, but was unable to turn as much as he wanted (due to the physics of the off-camber turn) and hit Alonso. If you look at the video, Lewis seems to be steering right quite hard for the turn.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
