F1 Filling
question 1
With six different drivers getting the chance to drive an F1 car at the young drivers test which driver do you think has the most potential to make it in F1 in the future?
@cbesudha : Jules Bianchi has the best chance to get into F1. He topped the time sheets on all 3 days at Magny-Cours driving for Ferrari and Force India. With talk of one or both Force India drivers, Di Resta and Hulkenberg, going to other teams, Bianchi has a real shot at driving for Force India next year. He could also go back to being Ferrari's Test Driver.
@EmTheEmu : It's hard to tell because testing times don't really mean all that much. But going on their WSR and GP2 results, Bianchi and Razia seem to have the most potential, with Bird close behind. I fear Hartley may have lost his chance now Red Bull have dropped him.

question 2
This week saw an auction for GOSH entitled the 'Zoom' project in which F1 personnel took a photograph each of somewhere special and then people were allowed to bid for their favourite unique image. Out of all the photos which one was your favourite and why?

@alonsomanso : Michael Schumacher's picture; was a kind of flashback to when Michael began his F1 career. The steering wheel for example in the 90s was just two buttons now have like twenty buttons or more.
@jo_johnson63 : My favourite photo from the Zoom project was the picture of Yas Marina by Marussia Team Principal, John Booth. The colours and reflection on the water in the marina is stunning. I also loved Mark Webber's picture of his dogs Simba and Shadow because I'm a dog lover and I used to have a Ridgeback too.

question 3
After two back to back pole-win conversions do you think McLaren have finally found the right combination to claim a title this year?
@DarshanChokhani : I wouldn't say that they have. Yes, with 3 wins in a row they have certainly put themselves in contention but if we see in a way, the 3 wins still didn't gave them the lead in either of the championship. So, we can see how big the gap is. They have to get more wins in order to get ahead but it's very close really.
@NigelBeechey : I do indeed. I fear that the rest of the season will be fragile for many teams struggling to make their equipment last without pealties. I really hope Lewis prooves the doubters wrong too.
@multicooldude34 : I think they can win the constructors if both drivers pick up points. They may pick up the drivers with Hamilton, but at the moment that one is Alonso's to lose.

bonus
Singapore is the location of the next home Grand Prix. Is it a race you look forward to or in your opinion is it over hyped?
@MarussiaF1Will : I'm looking forward to it, can't wait. One of my favourites in the year, brilliant track and it's at night.
@joshbohnf1 : It's a street race. They don't usually create great racing so, no I'm not much of a fan!
@hedgeryhoops : It's a Grand Prix that I've grown to. I used to view it as almost a fake Grand Prix, with it trying to gain the same glitz and glamour as Monaco, plus I wasn't a fan of the night aspect of the race. I suppose I learned to like it after the 2011 race, no particular incident converted me, but I can now appreciate the uniqueness of this race.
