Predict Pole Time - '06 Monaco GP (Jupiter and Kapel win!)

Predict the Pole Time for the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix

Given the changes to qualifying with 3 sessions, for 2006, you can attempt to predict the fastest time in each of the 3 sessions. If you just post 1 time, that will be taken as the Pole time which is the time from the final session. (Note that during the 1st and 2nd sessions drivers usually run on low fuel while in the 3rd session they have to run on race fuel)

So go ahead and have a crack at the fastest times from the 3 sessions of Qualifying or just the Pole time (fastest time in the 3rd session) and lets see who can be closest in Monaco.

If someone gets a perfect match or near perfect (+/- 0.1 seconds) for 1 time, we'll give away a prize. (A choice between an Digital Alarm Clock and a Stopwatch).
And an even better prize if you get a perfect match or near perfect (+/- 0.1 seconds) for 2 times (A USD $100 instant gift certificate or equavilent from a choice of suppliers!) and better still if you get a perfect match or near perfect (+/- 0.1 seconds) for 3 times (A USD $250 instant gift certificate or equavilent from a choice of suppliers!)
For each of the above, getting the correct driver adds a bonus gift.

Please include the time to the 1000's of a second and the driver. You can if you wish include a wet time as well

For reference, the Pole time from 2005 in Monaco on Saturday was a 1:13.644 (Kimi Raikkonen) and on Sunday Pole time was a 1:16.281 (Fernando Alonso).

Good luck everyone!

The Fine Print
One entry (dry and wet) per user with one change per condition allowed. Entries close prior to the start of first practice on Thursday
The winner will be the one who manages to predict the closest time(s). You need to be within 0.1 seconds of the fastest times to be declared the winner.
In the case of two players predicting the same time(s) and driver(s), the player who submitted earlier will be the winner.
Changing time(s) and/or driver(s) is allowed only once and the change cannot be a max or min to try and gain advantage (eg. if the fastest time posted is a 1:45.345, a player cannot change their time to a time above that)

I like your reasoning by Jupiter! And Jenson getting pole is very attractive indeed. Already though Alonso appears to be frighteningly fast

Please post more promptly as you are the only guy with a working flux capacitor!

Secret this week was giving Michael a call and asking him to park it on the second last corner before I lost my spot. It's not what you know .......
