   1. 5 Teams
   2. Van der Garde
   3. Vettel (I’m not brave enough to take a risk with Hamilton)
   4. Maldonado
   5. Ooh tricky question well Mark will have 2 Seb will have 6 Button 3 Perez 2 Alonso 3 leaving Hamilton 3 races up for grabs, but I reckon we’ll have a Lotus take at least one of them so i’ll say 2.
   6. Last year he took 7, they roughly in the same position as last year but Mercedes may be in the mix so I would take 2 away from that and give Raikkonen 5, but it could be 6.
   7. Last year he got 4th so lets give him a podium 3rd.
   8. Yes
   9.Yes (unless something goes wrong)
   10. I don’t think that will happen, the only way it could is if Grosjean is up to his old tricks.
   11. If it is Grosjean then Lotus will put in their reserve in D’ambrosio
   12. Maldonado
   13. Webber he’s won two years in a row he knows how to drive that track.
   14. Caterham, I know they came 10th last year but Marrusia now have kers for their first time and their car looks a lot better than it was last year and you could see how close the battle was in Brazil so Caterham last sorry. :(
   15. Is this question a joke almost certainly Bottas
   16. I’d like to see it go down to the wire but the maths shows that if your first in the standings at the penultimate race and have a good car at that end of the season you’ll take it in Austin.
   17. It will have to be some news about the 2014 car, most likely that an engine company is dropping or coming, seeing that the car rules aren’t likely to change from what they are. So 2014 engine story.
   18. Most entertaining race, I know this will contradict 16 but you never know what will happen at Brazil, especially if there is a title to be won.
   19. Now for the big questions and although I would like to see other winners looking at how it stands at the moment, unless a car really surprises us Red Bull. Button isn’t a championship winning style driver.
   20. The problem is the only car that looks like it will win is Red Bull, McLaren are putting their hopes in Button, who don’t get me wrong he is an amazing driver, but not the sort that wins championships (2009 was an exception) and Ferrari are having their wind tunnel problems, we all know that Webber won’t get any backing, so this one sadly is another win for Vettel.

    Mark Webber
    3. Who will set the most pole positions?
    Vettel
    4. Who will crash out of the most races?
    I’m gonna take a punt on this one and say Perez, although everyone will be too naive to realise he’s not much of a better driver than Maldonado or Grosjean are compared to at times..
    5. How many races will Lewis Hamilton win?
    2, but they’ll be more luck than driver-car combination
    6. How many times will Kimi Raikkonen finish on the podium?
    I’d like to think more than 50% of the races, so 11
    7. What will Nico Hulkenberg’s best result be?
    The previously mentioned Sauber win
    8. Will Felipe Massa get a contract extension at Ferrari for 2014?
    Yes, there’s no-one who’d fit better within the team
    9. Will Mark Webber get the same at Red Bull?
    Depends largely on the STR pair, or maybe even Felix Da Costa, but I’d be saddened to see him go
    10. Who will be the first driver to be replaced or substituted for a race?
    Bianchi
    11. And who will take their place?
    Razia, just for the laughs
    12. Which driver will receive the most penalties for driving infringements?
    I’m thinking possibly Grosjean. Ignoring the fact that most of them aren’t his fault..
    13. Who will win the Monaco Grand Prix?
    Alonso. About time he won it again.
    14. Who will finish last in the constructors’ championship?
    Caterham, Marrussia look like they’ve got their act together this year
    15. Which rookie driver will finish highest in the championship?
    Guttierrez, but only due to the fact he’ll have a competitive car
    16. At which race will the drivers’ championship be decided?
    I’m hoping Brazil, or at least one of the races the Beeb has live
    17. What will be the biggest political story of the year?
    No Concorde Agreement/New rules complaints
    18. What will be the most entertaining race of the year?
    Canada tends to be a safe bet for providing a good race, so I’ll go for that
