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 702. It is as follows:
Driver PP (pts) Points range M Schumacher 96 68-149 Montoya 89 68-116 Räikkönen 85 49-120 R Schumacher 78 54-123 Barrichello 69 46-120 Alonso 63 37- 88 Coulthard 52 36- 74 Trulli 40 17- 72 Button 32 12- 58 da Matta 17 5- 44 Webber 16 3- 33 Fisichella 15 5- 30 Panis 15 0- 38 Sato 15 0- 28 Massa 10 2- 30 Heidfeld 5 0- 12 Klien 3 0- 10 Bruni 1 0- 4 Pantano 1 0- 7 Badoer 0 0- 1 Baumgartner 0 0- 1 Davidson 0 0- 1 Gene 0 0- 5 Kiesa 0 0- 1 Pizzonia 0 0- 2 Van de Merwe 0 0- 1
If the Popularity poll would turn out exactly right, the winner of the PTPC would be LB, with a respectable 667 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 96 points this year, he will have fulfilled our expectations 100 %, but not more.
Current standings:
Barrichello 11.6 % M Schumacher 10.5 % Alonso 9.6 % Button 9.5 % R Schumacher 6.4 % Trulli 4.9 % Montoya 4.5 % Coulthard 1.9 % 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 Michael Schumacher this year was 149. If Michael scores 150 points, he will have achieved a 100 % surprise. If he just scores 75 points, his surprise value will be 50%.
Current standings:
Alonso 6.7 % M Schumacher 6.7 % Barrichello 6.6 % Button 5.1 % R Schumacher 4.0 % Montoya 3.4 % Trulli 2.7 % Coulthard 1.3 % 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 48.
Current standings:
Nobody surprised yet!
