First of all, a clarification: Olivier was being a bit of a dumbass at Silverstone and, as a reward, got his qualifying time cancelled. However, since he wasn’t disqualified I’ll just ignore the penalty and use the official qualifying result according to which he was 12th.
With that in mind, here are the correct answers for round 11:
[B]Qualifying duels: Outcome Worth (pts) [/B] 1 Jaguar – Minardi 1 (97 %) 1.03 2 McLaren – BAR X (56 %) 1.44 3 Toyota – Jordan 1 (79 %) 1.21 4 Sauber – Williams X (15 %) 1.85 5 Ferrari – Renault 1 (38 %) 1.62 6 Minardi – McLaren 2 (97 %) 1.03 [B]Total for qualifying: 8.18 Race duels: [/B] 7 Jaguar – Minardi 1 (59 %) 1.41 8 McLaren – BAR X (76 %) 1.24 9 Toyota – Jordan 1 (68 %) 1.32 10 Sauber – Williams X (29 %) 1.71 11 Ferrari – Renault 1 (68 %) 1.32 12 Minardi – McLaren 2 (79 %) 1.21 [B]Total for race: 8.21 Overall: 16.38[/B]
In conclusion, Williams suck more than many of us could possibly imagine. Other than that, a relatively easy round.
Results: Congratulations to QdfV – our 10th F1 Pools GP winner of the season! His (?) excellent guess was only 0.134 seconds (or a Marc Gene) from being the first-ever perfect overall score. Damn, so close… Elsewhere on the podium, d_view7 narrowly beats Costaz and kismet who tie in 3rd place. Weirdly enough, I seem to have been third in three races in a row now, and I don’t think I’ve even ”accidentally” locked a cell on my fancy worksheet or anything. I hereby nominate myself for The Cruiser Award.

The average score was 9,68 which would’ve resulted in a 19th place. The popular guess 1X1 2X2 1X1 212 would’ve given 11,21 points, equalling a joint 8th place.
Moving on to the championship standings after round 11/18. dnbn is still in the lead (for the 10th race in a row, as it happens) but Makarias has been reeling him in, bit by bit, and is now a measly 1,33 points behind. A little bit further back, kismet also reaches the 100-point benchmark and jumps to the third place.

Now, spot the 7 mistakes above. Grammatical ones don’t count.
Nah, just kidding (I hope). But if you do see some weird-looking scores, let me know.
New thread for round 12 guesses to appear some time over the weekend. Probably. If I get round to it.
Until then, and
