What Greed?He's Not Getting A Seat In A Top Drive,For Whatever Reasons.

He's Not Like Hill Or Villeneuve Who'll Go For A Mid Field car,Or A New Team.He's Not Doing It Because Of The Extra $3-5 Mn He'll Get.I Doubt That's Ever Meant Anything To Him.

His Salary At Rallying Will Be Far Less As Well.

I Do Hope H Return In '11 Though.With RBR Possibly.

Almost all of the rookies this season have been terrible! Remember Luca Badoer? :p

Sorry, but I have to stop you there. Luca Badoer wasn't a rookie; he's raced 58 times in F1 since 1993. Although talent-wise, he drives like a rookie. :p He hasn't scored a single point in any of his 58 races. The highest he's ever finished is 7th in the 1993 San Marino Grand Prix. Unfortunately for him back then, points only went to the top 6 drivers.

Button Vs Hamilton will be great to see evolve.

Yep, especially now that they should have the same car, and hopefully it won't take long for Button to get used to the new team.

I think Hamilton will be the better driver, but we will see :D

Personally I think Raikkonen's form has dipped quiet a bit since capturing the title, and for me the fact that there haven't even been any negotiations with Mercedes GP tells me that he isn't interested in driving for them anyway.

Personally i'd want someone motivated to drive the team forward, and whilst Raikkonen is a great driver he isn't the best motivational artist.

Mercedes to name first driver today

The new Mercedes Grand Prix team is set to confirm its first driver for the 2010 season, with Nico Rosberg the main favourite for the seat.

The German car maker bought a majority stake in the Brawn GP team last week and is renaming the team in order to race under its own name from the 2010 season.

Since world champion Jenson Button left for McLaren, Mercedes GP has been linked with an all-German line-up for next year, and Rosberg looks set to be confirmed.

Nick Heidfeld has been linked with the second drive.

Mercedes GP is holding a press conference today at 12pm CET to announce its first driver, in a press conference with Norbert Haug and Nick Fry.

Who could it be... Rosberg? R?ikk?nen? Schumacher Sr? Montoya?

About an hour and we'll know.

Confirmed on the BrawnGP website: Nico Rosberg to drive for Mercedes GP

Which leaves us with the following grid for 2010:

Good for Rosberg, I feel his talent deserves a potentially race winning car. I just hope Schumacher doesn't get the other seat, as the whole world knows he would never drive on even terms with anyone and that would be bad for Rosberg's career.

Liuzzi and Sutil confirmed at Force India.

FIA Press Release

Note the two addenda at the bottom:

[brawn GP] has indicated its intention to change its team name to Mercedes Grand Prix prior to the start of the 2010 season.

Toyota Motorsport GmbH remains formally bound by the Concorde Agreement to put forward a team for participation, though it has indicated that it will not be in a position to do so. An announcement will be made regarding this entry in due course.

Citroen denies Raikkonen deal

Citroen Racing team principal Olivier Quesnel has denied any contact with Kimi Raikkonen - despite ongoing rumours that the Finn is expected to sign to drive a C4 WRC in next year's World Rally Championship.

Raikkonen and his management team have made it quite clear that they want to be in the World Rally Championship next season and speculation suggests they will do that with backing from energy drinks giant Red Bull, already a title sponsor of the Citroen WRC team.

"Nothing is signed, I never had [Kimi] Raikkonen on the telephone," Quesnel told French newspaper L'Equipe.

"In any case, [if Raikkonen did sign for Citroen] it would not be in the official team, but in the Citroen Junior Team. There is a lot of noise about this."

Despite the lack of contact with Quesnel, he said he would be very pleased to see the Finn competing in the WRC.

"He was not a [Formula 1] world champion by chance," said Quesnel. "In Finland last year, he was quite astonishing at the wheel of a Super 2000 car.

"If he comes to WRC, it will be very good news for the rally in general. It would also be nice to thumb the nose to F1."

Michael Schumacher for Mercedes. He can bring back some excitement that F1 is in dire need of. Without Kimi, Montoya and a few others, F1 has started to become quite dull that lacks any great overtaking battles putting aside Glock and Truli's awesome one in the 09 season. Ya di ya di ya all you want about the aerodynamics and KERS, teams have just tried to rely on pitting alone rather than overtaking which has in turn, has formed F1 into a lackluster motorsport. I'm looking forward for the re-fueling ban for this (2010) season, perhaps we'll see more overtaking.

Schumacher is a great driver and has proven it over and over again in a variety of racing events such as the Karting in Vegas, Race of Champions and Massa's championship (forgot the name) even after finishing his F1 career back in 2006. Yes, Schumacher has had some spills but he's only human and I doubt any of you have never made any mistakes. At least he doesn't go round crashing into people in the pits at a red light.

I think Jenson Button may disagree with you there Billus, he pulled off some pretty good overtakes during '09

And I think you will find there is a slight difference between mistakenly hitting a car in the pit lane and deliberately parking your car in a corner to hinder everyone's qualifying laps, or ramming your opponents when they are overtaking you to stop them finishing a race ;)

    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more.
