1) Who will take pole and win the race?

Pole: Hamilton, Race win: Barrichello.

2) Rubens or Jenson to win the 2009 WDC?

Realistically it's going to be Jenson, but between the two, I'm rooting for Rubens.

3) How many DNFs will there be?

5 or 6.

4) Will Red Bull bounce back and finish the season strong?

Yes, but crucially only strong enough to shadow the Brawns.

5) Will Fisichella win a race with Ferrari?

No.

6) Will Force India (13pts) pass BMW and Renault (both on 20 pts) in the Contructors championship after this weekend?

No. Their car works best in low-DF trim, so they'll be back to regular form here.

7) Will Flavio Briatore be banned from F1 over Crashgate?

Yes. Along with his thong.

Doubtful, but I wouldn't rule it out completely.

I really doubt it.

Yes!

Questions:

1) Who will take pole and win the race?
Barrichello/Button
2) Rubens or Jenson to win the 2009 WDC?
Hopefully Jenson
3) How many DNFs will there be?
Grojean will crash (ironically) then 3 more
4) Will Red Bull bounce back and finish the season strong?
They'll do better, 4th or 5th, but the lack of Friday testing won't help the setup
5) Will Fisichella win a race with Ferrari?
Does Eddie Jordan like Kers? (Not at the moment)
6) Will Force India (13pts) pass BMW and Renault (both on 20 pts) in the Contructors championship after this weekend?
I don't think so
7) Will Flavio Briatore be banned from F1 over Crashgate?
Depends on the jury's verdict :p I'd like to see his arrogant arse off the paddock.
 
1) Who will take pole and win the race?

Kimi, Kimi

2) Rubens or Jenson to win the 2009 WDC?

Rubens

3) How many DNFs will there be?

6, one of which will include a McLaren.

4) Will Red Bull bounce back and finish the season strong?

Nah.

5) Will Fisichella win a race with Ferrari?

Hopefully, the man deserves it.

6) Will Force India (13pts) pass BMW and Renault (both on 20 pts) in the Contructors championship after this weekend?

Possibly but, I doubt it.

7) Will Flavio Briatore be banned from F1 over Crashgate?

No.
 
1) Who will take pole and win the race?
Hamilton, Barrichello
2) Rubens or Jenson to win the 2009 WDC?
As much as I'd like it to be Rubens, its most likely going to be Jenson
3) How many DNFs will there be?
5-7
4) Will Red Bull bounce back and finish the season strong?
Perhaps a slightly better showing, but its too late anyway. Plus they're in danger of losing 4th in the WDC to Raikkonen
5) Will Fisichella win a race with Ferrari?
No
6) Will Force India (13pts) pass BMW and Renault (both on 20 pts) in the Contructors championship after this weekend?
No, the track won't suit their car so I doubt they'll get out of Q2
7) Will Flavio Briatore be banned from F1 over Crashgate?
Who knows, he's weaseled out of worse

I think the main way I know I've truly become an F1 'forumite' the past year is by having seen that awful picture about a trillion times on most threads mentioning Flav :lol:. Though thankfully thats not been as bad on Final Gear!

Pole: Rubens, Race win: Kimi.

2) Rubens or Jenson to win the 2009 WDC?

Jenson will but I am hoping Rubens will run him very close.

3) How many DNFs will there be?

2.

4) Will Red Bull bounce back and finish the season strong?

No. They might have a few good races and even win one but their season is shot.

5) Will Fisichella win a race with Ferrari?

No.

6) Will Force India (13pts) pass BMW and Renault (both on 20 pts) in the Contructors championship after this weekend?

No. I think they might get some scraps but there is no tracks left that suit there car

7) Will Flavio Briatore be banned from F1 over Crashgate?

No. There won't be enough evidence or the FIA will be too gutless

I've always found this track boring. There only because of marketing and $$$. But, it is my hometown race, so I guess I have to support it.. :(

On a certain forum, if you start a thread with Briatore in the subject, by page 10 you're bound to see THAT picture.

It's only had one running LOL

Even if it is your hown town race you don't have to support it. I really dislike
the track in Melbourne. Hope it would go somewhere else.

But since we all like F1 we support the sport and not the track :p
 
1) Who will take pole and win the race?
Raikkonen, Hamilton

2) Rubens or Jenson to win the 2009 WDC?
It's looking good for Jenson at the moment, but one DNF either way will mix it up...

3) How many DNFs will there be?
3

4) Will Red Bull bounce back and finish the season strong?
I think they just didn't get on with Monza's uniqueness. That said, the engine situation could screw them over.

5) Will Fisichella win a race with Ferrari?
It would be great to see, but I doubt it.

6) Will Force India (13pts) pass BMW and Renault (both on 20 pts) in the Contructors championship after this weekend?
It would be awesome!

7) Will Flavio Briatore be banned from F1 over Crashgate?
Moot point now.

Yep, thats what I meant :D, can't count how many times I've seen it on Autosport/Planet F1. Nice to see this place is marginally more civilised than some!
 
1) Who will take pole and win the race? Hamilton, Barrichello
2) Rubens or Jenson to win the 2009 WDC? Jenson
3) How many DNFs will there be? 6
4) Will Red Bull bounce back and finish the season strong? They will win one more race
5) Will Fisichella win a race with Ferrari? No
6) Will Force India (13pts) pass BMW and Renault (both on 20 pts) in the Contructors championship after this weekend? They will pass Renault
7) Will Flavio Briatore be banned from F1 over Crashgate? As it's turned out today, he doesn't need to be banned...
 
So you guys seriously think McLaren will make the light fuel mistake again? It obviously doesn't work...
 
vikiradTG2007 said:
No, he'll go on a similar strategy to whoever it is now. But he and McLaren won't be able to make that strategy work. :p

I think they'll be closer to Brawn in Singapore than Monza, if not faster. So on that basis the strategy should work just fine...
 
Nah I think the Brawns will show the mclaren boys a clean pair of heels in both quali and race day.
