Anderis, Estwald and scheivlak stand out this round and the latter looks comfortable up front.

Romain Grojean and Mark Webber become the 7th and 8th drivers to reach 100% of Expectation in 2013.
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 2012 this is 28.

A win on Sunday would make Hamilton the third 100% surprise of the season. Tough task perhaps.

Hülkenberg's late season results have saved him from a total disappointment; he may beat a few more guesses this weekend. Good to see Bottas in the points at last!
