I am surprised no one is discussing it here, the recent race in bahrain wan amazing. Although the Mercs pretty much blew everyone away, but there was some great racing between hamilton and rosberg.
There was some good competition between teammates, vettel/ricciardo, massa/bottas, perez/hulkenburg, hamilton/rosberg etc.
Too many promising young drivers around this time, the best part for me was when Vettel was told to let his teammate Ricciardo past him because Ricciardo was faster than him :laugh1:

BTW Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat really impressed me. Vettel has competition with his own team mate and by the looks of it, it doesn't seem like Ricciardo is the one to back off, whenever he gets a chance he'll try to get past vettel.
On the other hand Kvyat having a car (torro rosso) that is inferior to all the top dogs still tried to push it and gave them a tough time and the guy is only 19

.Yeah Kimi looked bang on it today in quali. Shame about Q3. But hey just when people thought they closed the gap on Mercs, they pull something out. Hoping for a great race tomorrow. Hopefully Rosberg wins this one.
Still critical but in a stable condition.

In other news,
- Marussia and Caterham both went into administration and will not take part in the rest of the season.
- Vettel 'very likely' to miss the Austin GP qualifying session, reason: 6th engine unit.

Well that's just sad, i hope he makes a full recovery and get back to f1
Btw i've heard vettel is going to leave redbull and join ferrari for the next season, so iguess alonso is leaving then?
I've been following this very keenly, and it is turning out to be an interesting story.
The only thing official at this moment in time is that Vettel is leaving RBR. It is widely believed, and Christian Horner and Niki Lauda have confirmed, that he has signed with Ferrari, but there's no official word yet.
Basically, Raikonnen and Alonso had contracts for next year with Ferrari. But with Honda returning to the sport next year as a partner to McLaren, they wanted to sign Alonso. The rumors are that Alonso agreed with Ferrari to terminate his contract for next year so he could sign with McLaren-Honda. Ferrari, understanding that he was in talks with McLaren-Honda, quickly grabbed Vettel to fill that seat.
Alonso was using his contract with Ferrari to get more money from Honda. But the Vettel announcement really threw the cat amongst the pigeons, because Alonso lost that leverage. So Honda offered less money, and Alonso didn't sign off the Ferrari contract. So essentially, Ferrari has 3 drivers employed for next year, which leaves Alonso with 2 options at this moment -
a) sign-off his contract with Ferrari and sign with McLaren-Honda, another team, or even take a sabbatical. OR
b) make Ferrari terminate his contract themselves so could receive $30million (the worth of his remaining contract) and then go off to McLaren-Honda or whatever.
So, in either cases he will be getting less salary from McLaren-Honda then he might have. But Alonso being Alonso, usually gets what he wants. We might hear some concrete news this weekend.

The only valid thing from his pov he said in the video is AC dead since Black Flag. According to woke police that game was woke too. Welsh man in West Indies. So atleast he's consistent I guess lol -
Necrokiller:
It's based on an actual real life person so I don't think the woke police have a valid case here.

Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already. -
XPremiuM:
Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

Necrokiller:
Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol
-
SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

XPremiuM:
Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out.
-
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
