"Average" grid differences after Bahrain (drivers/teams)
Differences from pole after Bahrain. I have dropped the best and worst case, so it is the median case.
[freaks](I have done a correction in order to eliminate the lenght-of-lap factor (it would distort calculations in long/small circuits), making all circuits equivalent to 1:20.00 pole time)[/freaks] Code:
M.Schumacher Ferr 0.000 Barrichello Ferr 0.347 Montoya Will 0.559 Button BAR 0.636 R.Schumacher Will 0.998 Trulli Rena 1.151 Webber Jagu 1.324 Sato BAR 1.368 Coulthard McLa 1.402 da Mata Toyo 1.584 Fisichella Saub 1.708 Raikkonen McLa 1.790 Klien Juga 1.946 Massa Saub 2.127 Panis Toyo 2.186 Heidfeld Jord 3.004 Alonso Rena 3.542 Bruni Mina 4.730 Baumgartner Mina 5.327 Pantano Jord 5.433 Ferrari 0.174 Williams 0.779 BAR 1.002 McLaren 1.596 Jaguar 1.635 Toyota 1.885 Sauber 1.918 Renault 2.347 Jordan 4.219 Minardi 5.029

Well, the Macs actually sit about fifth on pace really. Alonso has had 2 bad quallies and his number is way way way down on Trulli, who sits about 1.1 Vs Macs 1.5
The Renault's aren't in a very 'true' position, even in such a rough comparison. Just something to keep in mind. Lookie lookie though, Ferrari-Willi-BAR |

I agreed, golem, with your comentary. I suppose Alonso will go up as a rocket as races pass by.
BAR is surprising! With six qualify sessions in total, this is not fluke, although exactly what pace they will be able to get is something to be seen. I'm very sad seeing Jordan so low and I would wish Heidfeld had a better car. He *never* had a good car to perform in his career. He was awesome in F3000, practically equal to Montoya. I add below team mates differences: Code:
MS - RB 0.3 JPM - RS 0.4 JB - TS 0.7 DC - KR 0.3 MW - Kle 0.6 CM - OP 0.6 GF - FM 0.4 JT - FA 2.4 NH - GP 2.4 Bru -Bau 0.6 I'm intersted in the evolution of Sato and Klein respect their high profile team mates. If they end the season with 0.2 or 0.3 behind them, it would be a great achievement. |

That GF vs FM stat will be quite interesting to a few 10-10ths members. You know who you are, and so do I

Certainly if Felipe Massa equals GF or even surpass him in qualifies, it will be a nice bonus for his future in F1. And, in an opposite way, it could be the beginning of the end for GF perceived as a quick, undervalued driver.
Team mates comparisons are always "bloody" in terms of perceived skills, at least for media/fans, and in the long term for teams. |

Schummy, the 10-10ths members I refer to claim Fisi is done, because he was outqualified in the first two races by Massa. It is not always wise to base an opinion on two races.

If median favours one driver it means that driver has "won" at least two out of three races. So it guarantees GF is ahead of FM in this time. It's too early, though, to predict how it will end.
