Hello and welcome to round two of 'Guess the Result'.

The idea: Guess which 8 drivers will finish in the points at the next Formula 1 Grand Prix.

The rules: You have from today, Monday March 30th until Thursday, April 2nd, 23:59 GMT to pick your top 8. All guesses made after the deadline will be discarded. Points are awarded as follows:

  • Driver correctly guessed - 1 point
  • Driver and position correctly guessed - 3 points
  • All 8 drivers correctly guessed, order incorrect - 10 bonus points
  • All 8 drivers guessed in the correct order - 20 bonus points

You are free to modify your guess until the Thursday, 23:59 GMT deadline.

The standings after round one are:

  1. Mephistopheles - 9 points
  2. Shibby - 8 points
  3. Martyn - 7 points
  4. sundayx - 6 points
  5. HiroProtagonist1984 - 4 points
  6. Popcorned1 - 4 points
  7. mclaren2 - 4 points
  8. brentaal - 3 points
  9. Fourjays - 2 points
  10. .mcman - 1 point

My guess for the Malaysian GP:

  1. Jenson Button - Brawn Mercedes
  2. Rubens Barichello - Brawn Mercedes
  3. Kimi R?ikk?nen - Ferrari
  4. Robert Kubica - BMW-Sauber
  5. Sebastian Vettel - Red Bull-Renault
  6. Nico Rosberg - Williams-Toyota
  7. Timo Glock - Toyota
  8. Fernando Alonso - Renault

So will the points be changed when Brawn are excluded from the first two races? ;)

The problem'll be, that regardless of the decision, there'll probably be appeals, especially if the other teams aren't able to up their performance significantly by then.

  1. Jenson Button - Brawn Mercedes
  2. Felipe Massa - Ferrari
  3. Lewis Hamilton - McLaren Mercedes
  4. Rubens Barrichello - Brawn Mercedes
  5. Fernando Alonso - Renault
  6. Nico Rosberg - Williams Toyota
  7. Jarno Trulli - Toyota
  8. Robert Kubica - BMW Sauber

I doubt Button is going to win again but it's hard not to put him up top.

My guess would be along the lines of

1: Button

2: Barrichello

3: Trulli

4: Kubica

5: Vettle

6: Massa

7: Raikkonen

8: Alonso

Based on the fact that Barrichello has to take a 5 place gearbox related drop, I am going to revise my estimate

1: Button

2: Trulli

3: Barrichello

4: Kubica

5: Vettle

6: Massa

7: Raikkonen

8: Alonso

    • AMD 9070XT

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/

      One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.

      I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html

      AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
