Round 2 of this season is over and a much better race than the first one it was! More on that in a minute but let's look at some statistics first. I've compiled all our driver guesses into a table so that we can see who's considered hot who's not.

As we can see, more or less total domination by Hamilton, Kubica and Vettel so far, yet none of them have the results to match the expectations so far. Also some interesting shifts have occurred with Rosberg, Barrichello and de la Rosa picking up support after performing well in Bahrain.
Ok, on to this weeks results then. The race weekend gave us the following result:
Qualifying Race Button 7 Button 5 Rosberg 1 Rosberg 5 Vettel 1 Webber 0 Alonso 2 Massa 1 Barrichello 7 Barrichello 0 Kubica 9 Kubica 0 Sutil 3 Liuzzi 0 Buemi 5 Algersuari 0 Kovalainen 1 Kovalainen 0 Senna 1 Chandhok 0 de la Rosa 2 de la Rosa 0 Glock 1 No winner 0
With so many retirements today there weren't a lot of positional points given in the race. However, only Virgin failed to get any result. The highest possible score this round was 123.
And now for the most important part, the results of the competition:

And a three-way tie for second by scheivlak, Yorkie and wewantourdarbyback .
The scores were a bit lower this time due to the many retirements leading to very low positional points in the race. The typical result was 1 point from Rosberg.
Finally we have championship standings:
