What are some good games for the Series X on Gamepass ?

I had a blast with Subnautica when I had Gamepass. Would fully recommend if you haven't played it before.

Edit: just realised when that was posted. Might be a bit late!

Ah yes I'm sure none of the people anonymously voting the title protagonists way down the order to influence the poll result will do so again

Speculation of course but it's not inconceivable that Norris or Leclerc could have won the title themselves without Masi's help in Max's position, as they likely would have not DNF'd in Silverstone.

Rather depends on whether Hamilton's racecraft was any better in this hypothetical scenario.

If I was Red Bull, I would make far more noise about the opening lap corner cut from Hamilton, which did not result in a penalty. Well stewarding inconsistency towards cars pushing eachother off is nothing new. I'm hoping that this report, given its being released so close to the season start, cove...

Realistically I think it's too late for him to do so now anyway. He has a contract for this season already and it's getting very tight for Merc to be able to find a replacement and get it all sorted before testing at this point. I think that's rather the point. Force Hamilton to commit to the sport...

Well that timing gives Hamilton 48 hours to decide if he's competing or not. The current FIA clearly want to make Hamilton commit to taking part before releasing the results bodge job.

Its not just AD but would you trust Masi, the FIA and stewards after what happened in Belgium, Brazil and SA. The performance of Max in SA was awful and how you can only get away with 10 seconds for a brake test which people forget was always decided for the show otherwise then both drivers are not...

Back go the original point of the thread: https://twitter.com/skysports/status/1480917666000900098?s=21 Disagree with this. The longer it drags on without us hearing any confirmation, the less likely he is to retire. I don't think he would hang Mercedes out to dry looking for a driver close to the ...

If Hamilton gives Russell and absolute pasting does that enhance his reputation? I don't think how he measures up to Russell will have much impact on his reputation, win or lose tbh. Hamilton has a reputation as one of the best, and is certainly a contender in the debate for best ever. So I don't t...

Mostly based on hope, partly based on expectation.

Alonso, Verstappen and a shedload of anxiety reducing substances.

The idea Masi didn't know what he was doing is nonsense. If so he needs to be fired but he knew exactly what he was doing when he selected those specific cars. We genuinely don't know if Massi made the choice on what cars to let past or if he was told from above to do that. The fact the announcemen...

Slightly off topic here (sorry) but didn’t think it was new thread worthy… Merc have fired up their 2022 car today. 1. Is this considered early for that? 2. Anyone heard if any other teams have fired up so far? Here's a list of fire up announcement dates from last year. I've used upload dates from ...

You hot the nail on the head, easy to do when your holding the trophy. Totally different during the run in. Contempt shown on and off track Hamilton didn't shy away from words in the media, nor games on track, during the run in. Quite rightly so too. They're competing for the biggest title in Motor...

Lewis probably has improved his legacy after the sheer top quality sportsmanship he showed in the face of utter contempt he received in return from his rival. I've seen Verstappen asked a lot about Hamilton since Sunday and in his response has always seemed to be praising him, or at the very least ...

I saw a comment on twitter the other day from a sports journalist (can’t remember who and I don’t think they were specifically an F1 journalist) who was saying that Hamilton might be the only British sportsperson ever with a realistic claim to be the greatest of all time in their sport. Can anyone ...

After rewatching the race, I've come around to the opinion that Max's lap 1 overtake should've been allowed and Hamilton should've had to return the position. It's totally debatable, and indeed it looks like opinions are pretty evenly divided... and it's something I'd like to see the FIA talk about...

The more 'realistic' options in my opinion are: Ricciardo - Experienced and a race winner. He may fancy sticking with McLaren with the regulation change but I think he would be up for the Merc seat. Mercedes engine connection may make it easier to get a deal done that satisfies McLaren too. Ocon - P...

Hypothetically if Hamilton did retire, who do we think Mercedes would replace him with?

Lawyers are apparently absolutely chomping at the bit for the case, certain they can win it so I don't see why not The problem is that even assuming that they can, what realistically is the outcome the courts will apply?

If they think there's an actual chance of court action somehow ending up with a Hamilton championship then they should. If they don't then they shouldn't. We don't know what they've been advised or whether any decision made by the CAS previously gives a precedent for how that could happen, but I don...

What do we think, a bad sign that the new regulations won't have the desired impact? Or an exciting sign that we may get better racing without sacrificing much, if any, speed?

Something I've only just noticed: Re-watched the C4 coverage, and Horner says thanks to Latifi and "He'll be getting a lifetime supply of Red Bull." Ha ha, very amusing. Apart from having no civilized reason to snidely gloat over such a hollow victory, he has now given ammunition to the kind of nut...

I very much doubt Masi would have let the lapped cars through without Horner on the blower, it just shows how weak he is and has to go. That and Wolff pleading with Masi not to release the safety car earlier in the race shows that if they're going to keep an open channel from team to RD, which I do...

ATM I think it's 50-50 I think if it was something that Lewis was considering, he stopped considering it somewhere in sector 3 of the final lap yesterday. I'd be shocked if he left now.

https://youtu.be/BGvtbDl3rcI Alonso hasn't exactly been neutral this year, but his reaction is interesting.
