The entries
The Popularity Poll consists of the average points placed on each driver, rounded off to integer values and to make the points sum 741. It is as follows:
Driver PP (pts) Points range M Schumacher 110 70-174 Räikkönen 87 44-115 Montoya 78 43-112 Barrichello 76 49-120 Alonso 75 49-115 Fisichella 63 24-114 Button 51 22- 91 Webber 46 14- 83 Heidfeld 41 13- 87 Sato 28 13- 55 R Schumacher 20 5- 60 Trulli 18 4- 41 Massa 16 2- 33 Coulthard 12 0- 33 Villeneuve 12 0- 29 Klien 3 0- 12 Albers 1 0- 8 Badoer 1 0- 25 Karthikeyan 1 0- 4 Liuzzi 1 0- 8 Monteiro 1 0- 9 Bruni 0 0- 1 de la Rosa 0 0- 1 Friesacher 0 0- 3 Pizzonia 0 0- 7 van der Merwe 0 0- 1
If the Popularity poll would turn out exactly right, the winner of the PTPC would be Moanaman, with a very respectable 716 points.

Drivers' listings
This season I will continually post three measures of how well the drivers are doing compared to the participants' expectations:
-The expectations fulfillment list: how many % the driver has scored of the average expected final result for him, defined by the average contribution above (or rather the non-rounded off values). For example, if Michael Schumacher scores 110 points this year, he will have fulfilled our expectations 100 %, but not more.
Current standings:
Klien 64.5 % Coulthard 42.8 % Fisichella 15.8 % Barrichello 10.6 % Webber 8.7 % Alonso 8.0 % Montoya 3.8 % Räikkönen 1.1 % All others 0 %
-The surprising drivers list: A 100 % surprise is defined by scoring one more point than anyone expected. This list shows how close to that score a driver is. For example, the highest amount of points placed on Jenson Button this year was 91. If Jenson scores 92 points, he will have achieved a 100 % surprise. If he just scores 46 points, his surprise value will be 50%.
Current standings:
Klien 15.4 % Coulthard 14.7 % Fisichella 8.7 % Barrichello 6.6 % Alonso 5.2 % Webber 4.8 % Montoya 2.7 % Räikkönen 0.9 % All others 0 %
-How many participants each driver has surprised so far: A participant is defined as being surprised by a driver as soon as the driver has scored more points than the participant expected. The maximum possible score for a driver is naturally the amount of participants in the competition, this year 49.
Current standings:
Klien 13 Coulthard 8
