SUPER GRID

The Super Grid has diminished even further - we are now down to only 16 drivers who have participated in all events so far this season.

Of special note should be Blundell's position at the very bottom of the "part-timers". His grid time for the Japanese GP was 16 minutes 42.640 seconds - well outside the 107%! Normally, I would be inclined to disregard such a time. I have not in this case because: first, it was officially listed as his grid time; and, second he did actually participate in the race.

In the same vein, Suzuki's grid time from Japan has been included here.

The Super Grid is sorted on time.
