My dad and I, were talking about the British GP was basicly spanish at the end!

The spainiards are taking over!

Why of course, after failing to conquer England with the 'Armada' back in 1588 they're now trying to control the UK by economic means.

It's all part of the Great Plan™.

Why din't Kimi do another lap right at the end? He passed the finish line with 10 seconds to spare?

Was little to no point. The performance of the soft tyres drops off after the first lap, so a second lap wouldn't have been any quicker, unless he had made a major mistake on the initial hot lap. Plus the handling of his car was awful. Another lap with him trying to push harder still in such an unstable car would have increased the risks of an accident.

Judging by his problems this weekend, Ferrari would have agreed with him to take no additional risks and ensure a strong points finish, so he likely has a good chunk of fuel too.

ah nice to see that after this exceptional silverstone-raceweekend things seem to be back to normal again.

massa clearly on the way to his first title-win and heidfeld slow as a dog again beaten by kubica :laugh:

hint of the day: raikkonen 1 lap lighter than felipe massa. :p :D

It was a pretty good race, got better again once Glock when smashy smashy time. I think all the drivers did pretty good. Kimi way off it again. Sometimes I just think him and Lewis are a like, somedays they are good, then they aren't so good.

this race was fun to watch. it shows f1 has to copy everything from us-motor-racing like the safetycar periods and the boost-button (they plan to introduce this one soon) to make things interesting.

hamilton was impressive i have to say, if he goes on like that no one can stop him from winning his first championship.

Fairly exciting race, lots of 2 car battles going on. McLaren say that there are no team orders (other than not to take each other out), but it looked like Heikki was told to move over and let Hamilton pass toward the end. Also why did Massa not hold the inside and make Hamilton do something around 12 laps from the end, he swooped to the outside and just gave the inside to Hamilton and then got pushed wide.

Lots of luck and timing for Piquet to end up 2nd. He drove a good race and earned the points he got.

    • 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.
