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.

    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
