French GP Pole Predictions?

Ralf Schumacher's pole position time from last year's French GP at Magny-Cours was 1m12.989s. What's your prediction for the pole in 2002 (driver/time):

Montoya, Again!

Well, they got into the 11's, but just barely. JPM with his fifth straight pole, at 1m11.985s. That's 1.004s under last year's pole. JPM just pipped MS (1m12.008), both times set as the qualification session expired. Top spot bounced between the two (plus RB) several times during the hour. Exciting to watch.

So, trench, you not only picked the right driver, but were closest on time, too. Hooray. You're prize is in the mail... :p

The Arrows drivers made just one qualification attempt each, finishing (obviously on purpose) outside the 107% rule. Too bad you have to do that just to preserve your concorde agreement rights and avoid financial penalties.

I'm starting to find the qualifications more fun than the races.
