Button for pole and win (by this stage you'd be stupid to guess otherwise)
Either Ferrari or RBR will be on the podium
Piquet with Heikki will crash causing 1 safety car.
 
1) Who will take Pole and who will win the Race?
Massa, Button
2) BMW are introducing a number of upgrades in Turkey, including a 'multi-level' diffuser, will they bring much improvement?
I should think so.
3) Which Red Bull driver (Vettel 23pts, Webber 19.5pts) will be higher in the WDC after Turkey?
Vettel
4) Will Toyota bounce back?
No.
5) It's common to see Hamilton's, Massa's and Button's dad each race weekend, which other driver's dad would you like to see?
Really no preference
6) Which 'Stupid Rookie' driver will ruin the race for Piquet Jr.?
He'll ruin it all by himself. Considering Buemi is the only rookie, I don't think Piquet will have this problem. If by "rookie" you mean "cr*p", then most likely Bourdais will block him in quali.
7) Will Barrichello win a race this year?
Yes, eventually
 
1) Who will take Pole and who will win the Race?

Pole: Massa, Race win: Vettel.

2) BMW are introducing a number of upgrades in Turkey, including a 'multi-level' diffuser, will they bring much improvement?

No. The F1.09 is a dog and will stay a dog until the end.

3) Which Red Bull driver (Vettel 23pts, Webber 19.5pts) will be higher in the WDC after Turkey?

Seb.

4) Will Toyota bounce back?

Very much so. I wouldn't bet against one in the top 5.

5) It's common to see Hamilton's, Massa's and Button's dad each race weekend, which other driver's dad would you like to see?

None. I'm tired of those and don't want to see another one.

6) Which 'Stupid Rookie' driver will ruin the race for Piquet Jr.?

Either himself or nobody. This time I think he'll keep it on the island up to the flag.

7) Will Barrichello win a race this year?

Yes. But not here.
 
1) Who will take Pole and who will win the Race? Vettel for both.
2) BMW are introducing a number of upgrades in Turkey, including a 'multi-level' diffuser, will they bring much improvement? Not really, but a bit.
3) Which Red Bull driver (Vettel 23pts, Webber 19.5pts) will be higher in the WDC after Turkey? Vettel
4) Will Toyota bounce back? Yeah, Istanbul should suit them...
5) It's common to see Hamilton's, Massa's and Button's dad each race weekend, which other driver's dad would you like to see? Kimi's :p

Dear god, I wonder what Kimi's dad must be like. Strangely the thought never occurred to me he had a dad, I always assumed he was born in a test tube from Alpha Centauri or something...:lol:
 
1) Who will take Pole and who will win the Race? Button, Vettel
2) BMW are introducing a number of upgrades in Turkey, including a 'multi-level' diffuser, will they bring much improvement? Maybe. Maybe they'll somehow get into Q2.

4) Will Toyota bounce back? They will be good enough to score points.

1) Who will take Pole and who will win the Race?
Jenson, Vettel

2) BMW are introducing a number of upgrades in Turkey, including a 'multi-level' diffuser, will they bring much improvement?
No, they'll still be at the back

3) Which Red Bull driver (Vettel 23pts, Webber 19.5pts) will be higher in the WDC after Turkey?
Vettel, but I expect it to remain close. I just don't see Mark beating Seb by 4 points in one race

4) Will Toyota bounce back?
You'd expect so. From 1-2 on the grid at Bahrain to the back at Monaco? Something went wrong last weekend.

5) It's common to see Hamilton's, Massa's and Button's dad each race weekend, which other driver's dad would you like to see?
Webber's dad seemed like a nice guy at Malaysia (or was it China?). He was smiling and waving to the camera like he was surprised to be there or be receiving any attention. The other dads, particularly Hamilton and to a lesser extent Button, seem a bit full of themselves. And get a new shirt John Button!

6) Which 'Stupid Rookie' driver will ruin the race for Piquet Jr.?
Himself.

7) Will Barrichello win a race this year?
Yes.

That lucky pink shirt won all the races for Jenson :p Which is why Button senior never bothered to wash it, incase he washes away some of the good luck that won all the races for Jenson :lol: :mrgreen:

DC clearly gave John Button some advice in fashion, cos he is quite a big fan of pink shirts as well. :p

Probably not.

3) Which Red Bull driver (Vettel 23pts, Webber 19.5pts) will be higher in the WDC after Turkey?
Vettel will be higher after Webber crashes on lap 23.

4) Will Toyota bounce back?
No.

5) It's common to see Hamilton's, Massa's and Button's dad each race weekend, which other driver's dad would you like to see?
Kimi's dad as well as Piquet's. (So that I can LOL at Piquet senior for how shit his son is.)

6) Which 'Stupid Rookie' driver will ruin the race for Piquet Jr.?
Well, since our man Piquet here thinks he's such a seasoned veteran, he should be able to avoid spinning himself. But that's inevitable, so I'll say he'll crash himself into a wall.

7) Will Barrichello win a race this year?
No, and he'll rage at Ross Brawn and quit F1.
 
1) Who will take Pole and who will win the Race? Button and Button
2) BMW are introducing a number of upgrades in Turkey, including a 'multi-level' diffuser, will they bring much improvement? A bit but not enough to bring in the points
3) Which Red Bull driver (Vettel 23pts, Webber 19.5pts) will be higher in the WDC after Turkey? I should say Webber, but I'll have to go with Vettel (that's if any of them don't crash out)
4) Will Toyota bounce back? Well they had their high so...
5) It's common to see Hamilton's, Massa's and Button's dad each race weekend, which other driver's dad would you like to see? Why would I want to see their Dad's?

ahahahahaha, we've seen Nelson Piquet senior in the paddock on a number of occasions before. I don't know how he can stand the humiliation of his son's incompetence. :lol:
 
1) Who will take Pole and who will win the Race?
FELPIE BABY!

2) BMW are introducing a number of upgrades in Turkey, including a 'multi-level' diffuser, will they bring much improvement?
Yup sure will. Kubica will top 5 this shit.

3) Which Red Bull driver (Vettel 23pts, Webber 19.5pts) will be higher in the WDC after Turkey?
Vettel, he's the man.

4) Will Toyota bounce back?
Do not think so. Maybe they are having set up problems, since their performance has been so volatile.

5) It's common to see Hamilton's, Massa's and Button's dad each race weekend, which other driver's dad would you like to see?
Barichello's LOL

6) Which 'Stupid Rookie' driver will ruin the race for Piquet Jr.?
Mark Webber

7) Will Barrichello win a race this year?
Well he's won races when Schumacher was his team mate, so Jenson Button should be easier to beat. I think...
