Points are missed mainly due to Buemi and Bourdais, but also fisichella_2001's Barrichello account is already busted...
Hopefully using the 12-9-7 points system won't make all this too confusing...
The entries
The following list shows the maximum, average ("popularity poll") and minimum bets on each driver. In order to make the Popularity Poll 731 points, the values for Massa and Alonso were rounded off upwards instead of downwards, as they otherwise would have been.

EXPLANATIONS:
Expect: Expectation fulfillment. The driver's current points score as a percentage of the average points placed on him (not rounded off to integer points)
Surprise: The driver's points score as a percentage of the maximum points placed on him plus one. When this number is reached, the driver has achieved a 100% surprise, by beating the highest expectations on him for this season.
Beat: How many players' expectations the driver has managed to beat. The maximum amount is the number of entrants for the season; for 2009 this is 29.

While fisichella_2001 seems the prime candidate for "royally screwed of the season", one can't avoid to think that ALL the scores may be pretty miserable this year...
