N I K I
1. Alonso and yes I want it. The best driver by far on the grid!
2. McLaren
3. 7 compared to teammate, 3 compared to the rest of the grid and 5 compared to media
4. he will be brilliant in every aspect once he gets started, so not counting the first 5 races, pure 10, otherwise, let's say 9 for the whole season
5. This guy will do brilliant too. Deferentially my favorite non-top team driver. Would love to see him take some beating on that Scot and even split top teams on occasion, although it might take him some time to get used to tires or whatever, so 8.
6. I don't care as long as Kimi is faster than him... 6
7. Pic
8. Yes
9. Not sure. Maybe he will score one, maybe he won't, but he will be on podium for sure.
10. No
11: Alonso
12. Schumacher
13. 303
Where is Mercedes in all this? They are looking really strong for the next season. Forza Schumi will probably even win a race this year.

8. Yes
9. No
10. Yes, in private testing, in a several year old car
11: Race cancelled - Track invaded by kangaroos. Results decided by a lottery, Alonso wins.
12. Race cancelled - Governor of Texas bans road racing 1 week before the event. Results decided by a lottery, Alonso wins.
13. 3 days before the season start, the FIA replaces the old points system by Eccelstone's medal system, therefore championship points becomes irrelevant. Charles Pic gets more points than everyone else, but no one cares, as Alonso takes the championship thanks to race wins
