Will answer most questions tomorrow, since I'm sleepy, but

11. McLaren, after twelve long years.
12. Lewis Hamilton, I'm pretty sure of this.
 
1. What was the best race of the season so far?
-For me hard to pick between Australia, Malaysia, and China.

-Bahrain, easily.
3. Who has impressed you the most this year?
-Both of the McLaren drivers for their consistency (I'm not biased at all here...)
4. Who has disappointed you the most this year?
-Sebastian Vettel. He should be #1 in the drivers standings but he isn't helping himself, and early on in the season neither was his car.
5. Of the remaining 9 Grand Prix, which has the best chance of shaking up the drivers/constructors championship?
-Probably the Japanese GP.
6. Should there be any driver changes? If so, who leaves and who takes their spot?
-I don't really know.
7. Will anyone actually dethrone Red Bull and McLaren? If so, who?
-I don't think so.
8. Will any of the new teams be around by Abu Dhabi?
-I can see Lotus still being around. Not sure about the others.
9. Will the Korean circuit be complete in time?
-I don't really know on this.
10. Will Ferrari finally make a charge to the constructors championship?
-No.
11. Who will win the constructor's championship?
-McLaren.
12. Who will win the driver's championship?
-Lewis Hamilton.

Schuey
5. Of the remaining 9 Grand Prix, which has the best chance of shaking up the drivers/constructors championship?
Button
6. Should there be any driver changes? If so, who leaves and who takes their spot?
Webber will break contract, retire or fill a slot in a poor team
7. Will anyone actually dethrone Red Bull and McLaren? If so, who?
No. Mclaren all the way to the end.
8. Will any of the new teams be around by Abu Dhabi?
No
9. Will the Korean circuit be complete in time?

Question Time!

1. What was the best race of the season so far? Canadian Grand Prix
2. Worst race? Bahrain. It was so dull and the scariest thing was that it could've been like that for the rest of the season
3. Who has impressed you the most this year? Webber maybe. Hamilton and Button have been supremely good this year also and as a McLaren fan I couldnt be happier with their partnership
4. Who has disappointed you the most this year? Alonso hasn't even looked close to being the driver he was of 2005-6
5. Of the remaining 9 Grand Prix, which Grand Prix has the best chance of shaking up the drivers/constructors championship? Hard to say. On paper Red Bull should have the advantage at all of them. McLaren just need to keep doing what they're doing.
6. Should there be any driver changes? If so, who leaves and who takes their spot? I don't think so
7. Will anyone actually dethrone Red Bull and McLaren? If so, who? Can't see anyone dethroning Red Bull or McLaren. Ferrari are behind in the points and in race trim their car is still only third or fourth best.
8. Will any of the new teams be around by Abu Dhabi? Yes
9. Will the Korean circuit be complete in time? Yes
10. Will Ferrari finally make a charge to the constructors championship? No, as I said, their car is behind the Red Bull and McLaren and they're not all there operationally either
11. Who will win the constructor's championship? the best team will win the constructors. That doesnt look like Red Bull at this stage unless they get their act together
12. Who will win the driver's championship? I'm hoping Webber does, but I like Hamilton for it as well. Anyone but Vettel please!
 
1. What was the best race of the season so far? China was great, so was Canada.
2. Worst race? Bahrain
3. Who has impressed you the most this year? Webber, because I already knew Lewis was the shit.
4. Who has disappointed you the most this year? Schumacher
5. Of the remaining 9 Grand Prix, which Grand Prix has the best chance of shaking up the drivers/constructors championship? Spa or Brazil
6. Should there be any driver changes? If so, who leaves and who takes their spot? I think it's OK for now (when Senna comes back)
7. Will anyone actually dethrone Red Bull and McLaren? If so, who? McLaren might dethrone Red Bull, but it's gonna be between these two.
8. Will any of the new teams be around by Abu Dhabi? All of them.
9. Will the Korean circuit be complete in time? Yes
10. Will Ferrari finally make a charge to the constructors championship? Not really.

6. Should there be any driver changes? If so, who leaves and who takes their spot? De la Rosa, maybe give his seat to Bruno Senna
7. Will anyone actually dethrone Red Bull and McLaren? If so, who? I don't see anyone getting close to either, both teams would need to have a catastrophic implosion for anyone to get close.

7. Will anyone actually dethrone Red Bull and McLaren? If so, who? Ferrrari and maybe Merceds/Renault but Ferrari is a better possbility
8. Will any of the new teams be around by Abu Dhabi? They will get there

4. Who has disappointed you the most this year? The two more-than-once champions in the field. Quite a shocker.

7. Will anyone actually dethrone Red Bull and McLaren? If so, who? No.
8. Will any of the new teams be around by Abu Dhabi? At least two of them, doubts about HRT though.
9. Will the Korean circuit be complete in time? Yes. Even if there's still the smell of fresh paint in the air by race day, Bernie will make sure it's finished and race-ready.
10. Will Ferrari finally make a charge to the constructors championship? No.
11. Who will win the constructor's championship? McLaren, RB are shooting themselves too much in the foot.
12. Who will win the driver's championship? The sensible money is probably on Hamilton, to be honest, he's got the consistency this year.
 
1. What was the best race of the season so far? Canadian Grand Prix
2. Worst race? Bahrain without any a shadow of doubt
3. Who has impressed you the most this year? Webber, for keeping his head together and winning the British GP. Hamilton and Button as well.
4. Who has disappointed you the most this year? Schumacher, so much potential wasted. Not the same driver i saw years ago.
5. Of the remaining 9 Grand Prix, which Grand Prix has the best chance of shaking up the drivers/constructors championship? i'll go with the Japanese Grand Prix
6. Should there be any driver changes? If so, who leaves and who takes their spot? Don't think so
7. Will anyone actually dethrone Red Bull and McLaren? If so, who? doubt anyone can at the moment

9. Will the Korean circuit be complete in time? honestly don't know
10. Will Ferrari finally make a charge to the constructors championship? no, i reckon they'll soon throw in the towel and start looking towards next year and focus on damage limitation with this years season.

1. What was the best race of the season so far?
Canada

2. Worst race?
BAHrain

3. Who has impressed you the most this year?
Jenson Button, Kamui Kobayashi, Karun Chandhok, and Nico Rosberg. I would include Mark Webber, but I expected him to do well after recovering from his leg injury.

4. Who has disappointed you the most this year?
Flippy Masser :(

5. Of the remaining 9 Grand Prix, which Grand Prix has the best chance of shaking up the drivers/constructors championship?
Singapore :p

6. Should there be any driver changes? If so, who leaves and who takes their spot?
Di Grassi and Pedro should go. Senna deserves a chance in either of those teams, and Anthony Davidson/Takuma Sato need to come back.

7. Will anyone actually dethrone Red Bull and McLaren? If so, who?
Ferrari will, eventually. Mercedes will pull a surprise at a race or two.

8. Will any of the new teams be around by Abu Dhabi?
Yeah, barely (in terms of HRT at least)

9. Will the Korean circuit be complete in time?
Yessir

10. Will Ferrari finally make a charge to the constructors championship?
No, Alonso might in the WDC, though.

11. Who will win the constructor's championship?
Answered this already

12. Who will win the driver's championship?
Answered this already
 
1. What was the best race of the season so far?
Canada, it's just a great track and always provides a good race.

2. Worst race?
Bahrain, surprise, surprise.

3. Who has impressed you the most this year?
This one is hard. Webber and Button for being at the same points as their teammates. Kubica and Kobayashi for being so ahead of their teammates. Alguersuari, because at the end of the last season I thought he doesn't deserve an F1 seat, but this year he had some decent races.

4. Who has disappointed you the most this year?
Massa (and why Ferrari extended his contract until 2012? stupid politics) and Schumacher. Yeah I knew he wouldn't be a champion this year, but I wasn't expect that poor drive.

5. Of the remaining 9 Grand Prix, which Grand Prix has the best chance of shaking up the drivers/constructors championship?
To hard to tell.

6. Should there be any driver changes? If so, who leaves and who takes their spot?
Like mclarensmps said, I want Sato and maybe Davidson back. And I think Petrov and Di Grassi will be out of their teams after Abu Dhabi.

7. Will anyone actually dethrone Red Bull and McLaren? If so, who?
Not really. Maybe Alonso will show something but it will be hard for him to challenge first four. In teams competition - it will be fight between RBR and McL.

8. Will any of the new teams be around by Abu Dhabi?
I hope.

9. Will the Korean circuit be complete in time?
Yes.

10. Will Ferrari finally make a charge to the constructors championship?
Like I said before, Alonso maybe, but Massa just isn't there, so sadly I think Ferrari is out of contention now.

11. Who will win the constructor's championship?
RBR or McL. :p

12. Who will win the driver's championship?
I hope it will be Webber, but probably it will be Hamilton, because I think that now he is the best driver of the leading four.

Either Canada, Britain or Australia
2. Worst race?
Bahrain
3. Who has impressed you the most this year?
Button, Kubica and Petrov

Urm, Monza?

No. Bit sceptical of Massa atm though.
7. Will anyone actually dethrone Red Bull and McLaren? If so, who?
Ferrari might haul themselves up there but they won't win a title.
8. Will any of the new teams be around by Abu Dhabi?
Lotus will be there, Virgin probably will be and HRT might not be.

No. They'll get 3rd.
