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.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
