Qualifying in France last year was tight amongst the earlier runners but not so tight when it started to drizzle. De La Rosa was among the early runners and was the only driver to break into the 1 minute 12's. He took pole position just ahead of Montoya's Williams.
Out of this year's current Championship leaders that raced last year, Ralf Schumacher started 4th, Button started 17th and Villeneuve started 19th. Those three are within 10 points of the leader this year.
The race was dry and Barrichello caused more accidents in this race than the entire year conbined as he ran lots of cars off the track. Montoya went on to benefit from a De La Rosa puncture to win ahead of Verstappen, who started 7th, and Fisichella, who started 5th.
Out of the 3 drivers with a sniff of the lead in the Championship that raced last year, Ralf Schumacher retired with wheel damage, Button and Villeneuve flew through the field to take 4th and 5th respectively.
Here is some more information that might be of some help:
