Pole: Hamilton, Race win: Webber.

2) Jaime Alguersuari has replaced Bourdais at Toro Rosso, where will he finish on his debut?

It's not actually confirmed yet, but if it turns out to be true, I wouldn't expect him to finish above 15th place.

No, but he will make Q2 and start from 12th or 13th.

4) Are Brawn favouring Button over Barichello?

Looks like it.

I'll reserve judgement on that for another 7 weeks.

6) The WDC standings are Vettel (2nd-47pts), Webber (3rd-45.5pts) and Barrichello (4th-44pts), what will be there positions after the Hungarian GP?

Webber(55.5), Vettel (51), Barrichello (47).

He won't, but he will support Jean Todt for all he's worth.

Button, Button

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

2) Jaime Alguersuari has replaced Bourdais at Toro Rosso, where will he finish on his debut?
P11.

3) Can Sutil make it into Q3 again?
Yes!

4) Are Brawn favouring Button over Barichello?
Yes!

5) Will Alonso be driving a Ferrari in 2010?
Yes!

6) The WDC standings are Vettel (2nd-47pts), Webber (3rd-45.5pts) and Barrichello (4th-44pts), what will be there positions after the Hungarian GP?
The same.

No!
 
1) Who will take Pole and who will win the Race?
Vettel, Buttons.
2) Jaime Alguersuari has replaced Bourdais at Toro Rosso, where will he finish on his debut?
Last I reckon. Does he have much testing experience? He'll be really thrown in at the deep end if he gets the drive.
3) Can Sutil make it into Q3 again?
No. He'll be close though.
4) Are Brawn favouring Button over Barrichello?
Most likely. If not they should be after his little bitching session last race.

Hope so! Maybe 2011 though.
6) The WDC standings are Vettel (2nd-47pts), Webber (3rd-45.5pts) and Barrichello (4th-44pts), what will be there positions after the Hungarian GP?
Stay the same.

Depends on the weather. If it's cold, the Red Bulls. If warm, Brawn.

2) Jaime Alguersuari has replaced Bourdais at Toro Rosso, where will he finish on his debut?
DNF

3) Can Sutil make it into Q3 again?
I reckon he'll just miss out.

4) Are Brawn favouring Button over Barichello?
Yes, for the obvious reasons. It's hard on Rubens but that's the way it goes, sadly.

5) Will Alonso be driving a Ferrari in 2010?
Yes.

6) The WDC standings are Vettel (2nd-47pts), Webber (3rd-45.5pts) and Barrichello (4th-44pts), what will be there positions after the Hungarian GP?
Unchanged.

So where are your predictions?


Hamilton

Fast car at Monaco. Similar sort of track. (Well.) Lots of development from last race and unlucky what happened to him at the start.

Raikkonen

Same Monaco thing and Ferrari on the podium last race and Kimi on podium at Monaco. No doubt some new flashy parts for next race and Kimi does alright around this track :)

Not that farfetched mate!

Also, don't forget that Kimi was a shoe-in for P5 last weekend, before the engine went kaput.
 
Large aerodynamic upgrade for Brawn

22 July 2009

With the last two Grands Prix having taken place in cooler temperatures than most so far this season, the championship-leading Brawn GP cars struggled to build up the optimum tyre temperatures required on-track. Team principal Ross Brawn is confident that this problem can be addressed, however, as a hotter race approaches.

With the Mercedes-powered Brawn car generating such tyre temperatures which must be monitored to stay cool in most races this season, problems in the Chinese, British and German Grand Prix meant that sub-20 degree track temperatures saw Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello struggling to do the opposite - keep their Bridgestone Potenzas up to operating temperatures.

"The last two races at Silverstone and the N?rburgring have been frustrating for the team as we have not been able to achieve the full potential of our car at the same time as our competitors have taken a good step forward," admitted team principal Brawn. "However, we are confident that the inherent performance of the BGP 001 which was demonstrated during the first half of the season has not disappeared and the problems that we faced were unique to the circumstances of those races.

With warmer weather expected in Hungary, Ross Brawn is optimistic
"Our focus now is to maximise the performance that we know is in the car whilst continuing to develop improvements which will maintain our championship challenge."

Due to this, a selection of new components will make an appearance this weekend. "We have a significant aerodynamic upgrade for the race in Budapest which will bring performance gains in efficiency, downforce and aero balance but we face a fierce battle and we must continue to improve for the rest of the season," Brawn continued. "The team has faced many challenges to arrive where we are today and I am confident that we have the people and resources, plus two excellent drivers, to respond and fight to maintain our position of leading the Constructors' and Drivers' Championships."

I'm getting up at 5 am tomorrow to catch the train to Budapest at 6 am.
They say it might go up to 40 degrees tomorrow and 35 on Friday so I'll probably suffer a bit - but it's worth it! :D
