Driver's Champion: Lewis Hamilton
That's right, we're sticking with Lewis for the title. He's not only consistent, but he's showing the aggressiveness that made him champion in 2008, only now he's coupled it with the maturity of a few seasons.
Constructor's Champion: Vodafone McLaren Mercedes
Also sticking with McLaren for the Constructor's title. Lewis is driving very well, and Jenson just overcame a P14 in qualifying by driving the wheels off at Silverstone and getting to P4 at the end.
Most wins at the end of the season: Lewis Hamilton
Yes, Webber has 3 now and Lewis only has 2. But Lewis drives well at Hockenheim and Spa, two of the next four races.
First Driver to be replaced: Karun Chandhok, HRT
We are partially right on this one. Bruno Senna was replaced by Sakon Yamamoto at Silverstone, but Karun will be replaced for the next few races by Yamamoto. Although, Renault is stirring the rumor mill with stories about Vitaly Petrov.
Will Bernie go away at season's end?
Still no. In fact, that kooky old man is now threatening to pull the Monaco Grand Prix. Yeah, that'll go over well with fans.
There was a question about USF1's spot. We just don't care anymore.
So? What do we think now?
Driver's Champion: Mark Webber
That's right, we're switching allegiance to Webber. Not that I want to, but let's face it, the Red Bulls are just awesome.
Constructor's Champion: Red Bull Renault
Like I say, those Red Bulls are strong. If Vettel can find some consistency and stop channeling Lewis Hamilton they have the best chance.
Most wins at the end of the season: Fernando Alonso
Yes, Alonso is the driver I can't stand, and I really hate the Ferraris. Still, the Maranello club has put together a good car.
First Driver to be replaced: Karun Chandhok, HRT
We are partially right on this one. Bruno Senna was replaced by Sakon Yamamoto at Silverstone, but Karun will be replaced for the next few races by Yamamoto. Although, Renault is stirring the rumor mill with stories about Vitaly Petrov. Still standing on right.
Will Bernie go away at season's end?
Not just no, but Bernie has announced a Russian Grand Prix in Sochi. And there's a new Indian Grand Prix next year. And the new US Grand Prix in Austin in 2012.
There was a question about USF1's spot. Still don't care anymore.

Excellent post! I agree that McLaren is losing momentum. Who knows, there's still a lot of points up for grabs. That said, from where we stand right now, it looks like Red Bull's race to lose.
