F1 World Championship 2008 Thread



Recommended Posts

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.

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
