Round 11 of 18 is in Silverstone and we still haven't had a two time race winner this season. Baumgartner's 2nd place in France takes him 6 points clear of the pack. Will anyone be able to catch him? The Constructors Championship and the Prediction Championships are beginning to bunch up. There is still a long way to go.

Let's have a check of the qualifying from last year. It was Frentzen on the back of a dismal year that took pole position ahead of the Champion to be Ralf Firman. Times were really bunched up at the front.
Out of the drivers within 10 points of the lead in this years Championship, Villeneuve qualified in 9th and Ralf Schumacher qualified 3rd.
The race saw Ralf Firman take the advantage of Frentzen throwing his car into the wall and gave himself a home victory, well on his way to the Drivers title. He managed to hold off the challenge of Ralf Schumacher and Raikkonen, who were 2nd and 3rd.
Out of this year's contenders, I already mentioned Ralf Schumacher finishing 2nd but Villeneuve had an early spin and couldn't recover so finished 12th.
Here is some more information that might be of use:
Lap Records:
Qualifying: 1m20.366s - Button (Renault) Set in 2002
Race: 1m21.656s - Verstappen (Minardi) Set in 2003
Previous Winners:
2002 - Villeneuve (B.A.R)
2003 - Firman (Jordan)
Top 3 Qualifying last year:
1st Frentzen (Sauber)
2nd Firman (Jordan)
3rd R Schumacher (Williams)
Top 3 Race last year:
1st Firman (Jordan)
2nd R Schumacher (Williams)
3rd Raikkonen (McLaren)
Top 3 Drivers after Round 11 last year:
1st Alonso 45pts (NOT RACING THIS YEAR!)
2nd Firman 44pts
3rd Villeneuve 39pts
Top 3 Constructors after Round 11 last year:
1st Renault 74pts
2nd B.A.R 72pts
3rd Jordan 68pts
Okay, onto the prediction questions. Mike Swade took the win in France in what was a low scoring race and the gap was cut from 12 to 7. Der Nazi has had the lead from the start. Will he be overtaken?
Remember that some of the drivers racing last year aren't in this year's Championship!

There you have the questions that need to be answered. Keep checking that your driver is doing well and enter your predictions otherwise you may lose your driver before the season ends!
People in danger of losing their drivers:
Quinty (Baumgartner)
Figo (Frentzen)
RoJ (Bruni)
For anyone who is interested in joining for the remainder of the season, these drivers may become available soon.

Yeah, I'll allow it as long as you haven't looked at the qualifying.
I have not had much time to come on the PC lately but thought when I came on today I would be able to do my predictions as the deadline is today so I thought we had until the end of today to predict but the qualifying has been done.
So would I be able to predict on the race results but obviously not on the qualyfying ones?

The gentlemanly thing to do would be to divide the spare points equally between any females that enter this and then just award them these points :)
Could have given Der Nazi a valuable chance to gloat! :D
It counts Foreman, so I think that's 6 predictions. I'll have to see what I can do with the spare points.
