Planet f1 have three pages of predictions, whose questions I'll attempt to answer. Firstly: http://www.planetf1.com/story/0,18954,3265_5098087,00.html

Brawn: Barrichello to beat Button*
Williams: Nakajima to beat Rosberg*^
Renault: Alonso to beat Piquet jnr
Toro Rosso: Buemi to beat Bourdais
Force India: Sutil to beat Fisichella
*disagree with PF1, ^would reverse 2008 result.

Secondly (and thirdly) some more general predictions:

GP to be axed: Hungary (crisis hits) (1)
