They used to race in conditions much worse than this, ridiculous.

Did you see the track condition during the safety car laps? The track is too wet for F1 cars. At race speed they'd be aquaplaning off the track left and right.

I disagree. Plus the faster they go the more water they clear and the more spaced out they will be. F1 like many sports is taking the excitement out with too many regulations and restrictions.

Plus the ridiculous race start times to appease overseas viewers.

The drivers would disagree with you. Keep in mind that the track surface is brand new and slippery enough in the dry. Under the current conditions it's simply too dangerous.

As the safety car went down the straight at the end of lap 2/start of lap 3 the amount of water it was kicking off was pretty amazing. That said 5 safety car laps then let them go. Faster they go the faster the water disappears. By the time you have done a lap with the safety car the water that was cleared lap before hand has been filled in again. Rain predicted for another 20 mins.

I seriously doubt he'll have the same attitude if he was in the lead in the championship right now, as opposed to having next to nothing to lose.

im not so sure. hami always loves to race in the rain.

if there is justice alonso will suffer 2 dnfs in the next 2 races.

let you remember alonso is the greatest cheater in f1. he goth ferrari in front of the world motorsport council and he cheated his way to the win in hockenheim.

cant feel happy that this character-nightmare could really win this year :(

Great race once the SC period was over. Alonso is a deserved - albeit lucky - winner.

This year's season is one of the most entertaining I've seen in decades. Bring on Brazil!

Well

My first comment... Modern F1 drivers are a bunch of nancies. 10 years ago they would have jumped into the cars and just gotten the hell on with it. I can understand the need for safety, bur frankly I think a line was crossed today, the safety car was out for far longer than it needed to be.

As for the race itself... once it got going, it was a real thriller, and we see yet another massive championship thriller. Just love the unpredictability this season has been throwing up. However, I believe that Button is essentially out of it, and if Red Bull want to beat Alonso their best bet would be to focus on webber now, so although Button and Vettel are mathematically still in it, I feel we are effectlvely down to 3 contenders now. Bitterly bad luck for Vettel, if it wasn't for the horrible luck he has had with reliability he would have already taken the championship by now. Shame for Red Bull as well as it looked as if they had largely gotten on top of their reliability issues.

Thumbs up for the track as well. Produced great action all through the weekend.

I agree - RBR have to focus on Webber now if they want to have any chance of winning the WDC.

Alonso has one problem: Engines. He's already used 8 engines this season; for the remaining two races he's going to have to re-use an older engine and hope nothing breaks. This could play in Webber's hands. Keep in mind that both Brazil and Abu Dhabi are a real strain on the engines.

with the ammount of luck alonso is gifted this year non of his engine will break. before that, another engine on vettels car will blow up or hami gets another dnf.

im willing to make every bet on that.

I believe his 7th engine has only done one race, and his 8th engine is on it's second. His engine situation is more manageable than it seems. Of course, as webber did relatively few laps he has nothing to worry about, as long as Vettel's failure was a one off issue rather than something like a batch issue. Personally I really can't see the engine situation making a huge amount of difference, Webber has a small amount of leeway but other than that it's practically equal.

thanks for the rain, otherwise this would have been another procession :p

RBR's renault failed b'coz they ran far longer than race time (2hours)? :p

Why didnt Webber apply brakes when he was going backwards, after crashing?

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
