"Average" grid differences after Bahrain (drivers/teams)

Differences from pole after Bahrain. I have dropped the best and worst case, so it is the median case.

[freaks](I have done a correction in order to eliminate the lenght-of-lap factor (it would distort calculations in long/small circuits), making all circuits equivalent to 1:20.00 pole time)[/freaks]

Code:
M.Schumacher Ferr 0.000
Barrichello  Ferr 0.347
Montoya      Will 0.559
Button       BAR  0.636
R.Schumacher Will 0.998
Trulli       Rena 1.151
Webber       Jagu 1.324
Sato         BAR  1.368
Coulthard    McLa 1.402
da Mata      Toyo 1.584
Fisichella   Saub 1.708
Raikkonen    McLa 1.790
Klien        Juga 1.946
Massa        Saub 2.127
Panis        Toyo 2.186
Heidfeld     Jord 3.004
Alonso       Rena 3.542
Bruni        Mina 4.730
Baumgartner  Mina 5.327
Pantano      Jord 5.433

Ferrari  0.174
Williams 0.779
BAR      1.002
McLaren  1.596
Jaguar   1.635
Toyota   1.885
Sauber   1.918
Renault  2.347
Jordan   4.219
Minardi  5.029
  • Ferrari has practically one second per lap advantage over the best of the rest =:-O
  • At least, Macs, when working, still are fourth, not so abismally bad as it looks
  • Jordan and Minardi are so detached of the rest that it is embarrasing
It is too soon to get reliable conclusion, but some things begin to be evident...
