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.

It has a worst rating on Steam than last years MW3 now. Jeese Sony, how can you fuck it up THIS BAD

I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying. -

You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.iampasha said: -

Alan wake 2 is yet to recover it's development costs. Due to no physical release and no steam launch. -
