Ferrari apparently bringing 5 updates to the race with (as someone predicted above) a bigger update in Spain, seems to be a case of when they can get an update out of the factory they are sticking it on the car. Saw a tweet this morning that teams are starting to arrive to heavy rain, if that continues maybe alonso can pull another blinder ? Forecast looks a bit dismal : http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/1796236

You're being a bit optimistic with Kimi,i think.I reckon we will see him up there,but maybe not quite this early in the season. I think if he has a clear weekend he'll be up there. The car seems to have the potential and I think he's determined to stick a good performance in.

Looking forward to watching the pre-race on Beeb. I may switch to Sky for the actual race as it'll all much of a muchness, just need to decide if I prefer DC or MB on the Mic.

Dry race: 1. Lewis 2. Webber 3. Vettel
Wet race: 1. Jenson 2. Perez 3. Alonso
Now it's guaranteed that I'll be entirely wrong, having covered all bases!

Some of these rules are so annoying. I don't see what they add to the sport - so far we've seen fans of Kimi robbed of a potential podium and race up at the front, and now fans of Hamilton the same.
:/

:/ It's not about adding to the sport, but making sure the teams do everything in their power to stick to the required intervals for engine/gbox changes. Give F1 engineers an inch and they'll take several miles.
