Ten position penalties are ignored if and only if they are due to disciplinary reasons.
Deadline:
Entries are accepted only if they are submitted/edited before First Free Practice.
Entries that are edited after the beginning of First Free Practice but before I have registered the entries will be ignored.

The first race of the season counts as a Modified Layout unless it's brand new.
A track that wasn't used the previous season also counts as a Modified Layout.
A track that hasn't been used for the previous five seasons counts as a New Track.

My guess for Monaco is 73.876 s by Lewis Hamilton.
guess. Any chance you would consider adding a couple of columns to the '2010 Data' section of the opening post - one for last year's 2nd quali time, and another for percentage difference? It will save us some time, and it will be more info available to all (plus I won't have to do it again and again every time 
). What say you?
