Mystery should be qualifying in the top 10 on the gridMystery should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Q1) Will the smaller teams closes the gap on the front runner?
Undoubtedly yes - Williams will come back, Red Bull will advance, Renault and Ferrari will fade. Such as the ebb and flow of F1 over the years. That won't change.

Q2) Will F1 be less or more exciting in terms of motor-racing?
Currently, I find F1's excitement levels to be roughly on a par with speed chess or watching paint dry. So yes (please god!)

Q3) Will car manufacturers leave the formula because there is a lack of technological development?
No - they'll drive the techie development as far as they can. Anything else would mean a virtual one-make formula and I don't believe F1 will become that any time soon.

Q4) Will there come a time when a car's aerodynamic will reach its optimal efficiency and there will be nothing left to develop?
Yes - and surely we can't be far away with all the flappy nonsense that's on current cars.

Q5) Can F1 survive?
Yes - but probably not the F1 we know today. The most important formula will always be F1 like it was when they 1500bhp grenade engines and turbochargers. It's a different formula but it's still F1.
