Recommended Posts

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

  1. Jenson Button - Brawn Mercedes
  2. Sebastian Vettel - Red Bull Racing
  3. Rubens Barrichello - Brawn Mercedes
  4. Felipe Massa - Ferrari
  5. Robert Kubica - BMW Sauber
  6. Nico Rosberg - Williams Toyota
  7. Timo Glock - Toyota
  8. Lewis Hamilton - McLaren Mercedes

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.

1: Jenson Button - Brawn GP

2: Lewis Hamilton - McLaren

3: Rubens Barrichello - Brawn GP

4: Kimi R?ikk?nen - Ferrari

5: Jarno Trulli - Toyota

6: Fernando Alonso - Renault

7: Sebastian Vettel - Red Bull

8: Felipe Massa - Ferrari

Good guess i reckon ;:p:p

@sundayx : Yea, its unlikely he will win but it's hard not too since Brawn did a great performance

Malaysia 2009:

1: Jenson Button - Brawn-Mercedes

2: Robert Kubica - BMW Sauber

3: Jarno Trulli - Toyota

4: Lewis Hamilton - McLaren Mercedes

5: Rubens Barrichello - Brawn-Mercedes

6: Nico Rosberg - Williams-Toyota

7: Sebastian Vettel - RBR-Renault

8: Fernando Alonso - Renault

1. felipe massa - ferrari

2. jenson button - brawn gp

3. rubens barrichello - brawn gp

4. nico rosberg - williams

5. lewis hamilton - mclaren mercedes

6. robert kubica - bmw

7. kimi raikkonen - ferrari

8. fernando alonso - renault

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

these are the results that i got. for the official results please wait for the OP.

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • 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 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.
