Schumacher medical files suspect found hanged

 

A man suspected of stealing Michael Schumacher's medical records and offering them up for sale has been found hanged in his prison cell, according to Zurich prosecutors.

The man, whose name has not been released, is said to have worked for Swiss air ambulance service Rega, which was involved in the organisation of the transfer of Schumacher from a Grenoble hospital to Switzerland on June 16. A statement said the suspect was found dead in his cell on Wednesday morning having been apprehended the day before for the violation of patient privacy and medical secrecy. It added there was no indication a third party was involved in man's death.

The purists will be peed off but the tarmac on the outside of parabolica won't make a shred of difference. Modern cars have so much grip that it's been ages since I've seen a car go off there in qualifying or the race.

fired marmorini speaks out:

 

Marmorini: "I will say that Ferrari has gone down a path where the race team has been handed to inexperienced people and these people are relying on advisors who up until now have proven nothing and yet are unconditionally trusted. Who are these advisors I speak of? Pat Fry and James Allison"

Marussia replace Chilton with Rossi for Belgian GP

 

Alexander Rossi will make his Formula One debut in this weekend?s Belgian Grand Prix in place of Max Chilton.

 

Marussia say the change is being made due to ?contractual issues? with Chilton.

 

Team principal John Booth said: ?Although it was not our intention to offer Alexander the possibility to race this season, in light of the circumstances we are pleased to be providing him with the opportunity to make his Grand Prix debut at this weekend?s Belgian Grand Prix in Spa-Franchorchamps.?

 

?Naturally we hope to resume normal service with respect to our established race driver line-up as soon as possible, but for now we wish Alexander well for the weekend ahead and we look forward to seeing him in action.?

Man of the race: Daniel Ricciardo

Reject of the race: Toss-up between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. Their collision could and should have been avoided.

Man of the race: Daniel for sure!

 

Reject: Hamilton. The most useless windbag ever. No chance of winning so he doesn't want to play any more. He's paid to race and put on a show for the fans; not to be a whiney ######. Poor poor form

i agree with what niki lauda just said, that the collision was nico's fault.

he shouldn't have been so aggressive that early in the race, after his failed start.

I see it myself as a racing incident. Rosberg may have been a bit overzealous but he definitely didn't intent to harm his or his team mates car. Just an unlucky and unfortunate accident

My thoughts exactly. (Y) I don't know what Mercedes were playing at though, leaving Hamilton out for so long when he had no realistic chance of getting back into the points; he's already an engine down on Rosberg thanks to the fire in Hungary, so they should have brought him in when he started asking to come in around lap 20.

Magnussen's lost his points.

 

 

Kevin Magnussen has been moved down to 12th in the final classification for the Belgian Grand Prix after being given a 20-second time penalty.

 
The McLaren driver had the time added to his finishing position after the stewards ruled he ?forced car 14 [Fernando Alonso] off the track between turns four [Raidillon] and five [Les Combes].?
 
?The driver of car 20 [Magnussen] was defending his position on the straight between turns four and five,? the stewards noted. ?A significant portion of car 14 was alongside car 20.?
 
?The driver of car 20 did not leave enough space for car 14 and forced the car off the track.?
 
Magnussen was also awarded two penalty points on his licence, giving him a total of four, which is the most any driver has at the moment. Pastor Maldonado and Jules Bianchi are also on four penalty points.
 
The change to the finishing order means Jenson Button moves up to sixth place ahead of Alonso, Sergio Perez, Daniil Kvyat and Nico Hulkenberg ? the latter promoted to the final points-paying position.
 
Magnussen is classified 12th behind Jean-Eric Vergne.

In case anyone missed it, here's what he did to get that penalty.

 

And now some controversy...

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

      There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
