Anyone surprised by Massa's Crash?

I'm sure I've seen suspension taking hits like that on other tracks...manufacturing defect maybe?

Driver error if you ask me. A F1 suspension only withstands so much; going over that curb was too much.

well wurz (and he is as much as a massa hater as many on this forum) thinks that by tomorrow following will happen.

- the area arround the kerb will get asphalt surface

- ferrari will use other/stronger (and heavier) materials for their suspension.

i think ferrari is very much at the limit right now. as both titles are gone, they are pushing like mad and that can be dangerous. first the engine blown up by alonso on friday fp1 and now massas front suspension collapses. its not as others havent cut the kerb too.

massa not to blame i say. also note, he was again incredibly close to alonso and given fair and equal cars tomorrow be a big challenge to him.

You haven't realized it yet? The stewards have a hard on for Hamilton / Mclaren in general. /s

FTFY.

Hamilton had reached the point along side Massa where Massa could see him...it wasn't a random lunge up the inside, Hamilton was there, Massa turned in, gets a penalty.

not that it matters now he's broken his suspension again!

Really? Let's go back to the Canada GP shall we? Hamilton crashes into Webber and takes 3-4 other cars with them, and then nearly crashes out his own team mate while trying to race him into the pit lane. And what did he get in return?

Oh nothing, the stewards cleared him.

Not to mention the amount of crashes he's caused / been a part of in this season. But yes he has been penalized for them.

The biggest surprise is not that he wasn't penalised for being involved in an accident in general, it's that he wasn't penalised for being involved in an accident with a Ferrari!

Reject of the season has been Felipe, closely followed by Mark Webber. Felipe gets into these accidents too much and its somehow everyone elses fault.

Like the orange curb situation everyone else managed fine yet Felipe managed to bin his car twice by smashing his suspension off it and he has the cheek to go crying about it to try and get them removed.

Enjoyable GP. Wassup with Felipe bouncing off the same kerb twice?

He needs a booster seat to see where they are, obviously day-glow orange wasn't enough for him.

Did enjoy the race, maybe next year will be better when the track has been cleaned up and there are more overtaking opportunities.

Honestly think Massa's day's are numbered, but the question is who replaces him.

Thought Hamilton attempt at passing was clumsy at best, if he had a level head and took his time he could have passed Massa somewhere more appropriate. One way or another the gap was going to disappear.

And another faultless drive by both Vettel and Button, both showing up their teams mate inadequates. I think if Button can sort out his qualifying demons he might just give Red Bull and Vettel something to think about.

im afraid to say this board has reached an alltime low! even alex wurz today - and he hates felipe massa like no one else - called it a racing accident and was very surprised when felipe got the drive through. as a driver who was involved in a very serious nearly deadly accident he has a good reason to ask for security to be improved. on EVERY other track they manage to make the kerbs the way that you can use them, or the way that you cant use them. they need to improve this track and the situation.

you really think that a driver who was the best during 2007 - 2009 has now completely lost it? yes, sure......

very happy to see schumacher improving and improving. now he needs just a better car and get rid of the qualifying problems and then ferrari, mclaren and maybe redbull (except vettel) will be under heavy pressure.

no need to write anything about vettel. he cant do any better. and still winning.

You see that big strip of tarmac that is 20 feet wide, thats called a 'road', Cars drive on roads.

The other drivers managed fine, if he didnt cut the corner so much he wouldnt trash his suspension thats twice hes done it in as many days, you shouldnt be able to cut a corner so much without a penalty and the penalty is damaged suspension.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.

      Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows 11 gets big performance upgrade, shared audio support, and more in new update

      By mrp04 · Posted

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
