My answers:

1) Sauber
2) Renault
3) Alguersuari
4) A Red Bull Junior, probably Brendon Hartley
5) 13th 2011 entry - it'll probably be quite a quiet year for the FIA under John Toad
6) Lewis
7) Fernando
8) 1
9) No, but Red Bull will
10) Other than the new teams, Red Bull
11) Hulkenberg
12) Singapore - got a feeling about it
13) Lewis
14) Fernando
15) Other than unpredictable first corner pile-ups, Chandhok or Senna - if they start the race, I think they might be voluntarily withdrawn
16) In terms of outright speed, Virgin. But in terms of points on the board and long term stability and success, Lotus
17) Brazil - anti-climax it will be
18) Ferrari
19) Lewis
20) 262
