Looking forward to this too, have grandstand tickets at turn 1.

Rain would be good for the race, however i don't want to get wet!

[Get Karter]

Bernd Maylander says "Overtaking is rather difficult on this race track".

Hopefully it rains.

This is the track where Button lost pole position in 2004 because of a gust of wind.

A shame that the ending section of the track is now FUBAR.

No more silly alarms at the weekend ... until the end of the season.

I will surely be expecting some technological improvements in the cars. Let's see if there are any surprises.

As always everyone will be taking a look at Schumacher's performance, but don't think the changes that will be made in the W01 will be enough to see him improve his results. As the season contines I think that it will be clear for everyone that his return was a mistake...

Go Vettel

Well why don't we just wait and see
This seems to be a fair assessment of Schumacher

Was the gust of wind caused by everyone rushing past him? I am sure he will be prepared for it then this weekend unless he pulls another inspired tyre change decision out of the bag to save his embarassment

I hope MS gets his act together this weekend - I really don't want to see him struggling anymore....

I guess Fred will be keen to win in front of the Spanish crowd so I will go for him for the win...

1. Fred
2. Hamilton
3. MS

Haaaaaang on a second! Mazda_baiter makes a joke about JB but because he is a fan of JB therefore it's okay. I make a joke implying that he has made some inspired tyre choices (true) and had this not been the case that he would have been (probably) beaten by LH but I am a knob?. Since when does making a joke about facts make me a knob? Perhaps JB didn't get overtaken by LH and then decide to change his tyres in Oz? That's what happened in the race I saw......and also he was slower than LH in China....

I'm looking forward to this race, it seems an eternity since the last race.

McLaren say they've got some updates on the car to make them even more competitive. Great. But how can they be so confident they will be on the front row after qualifying? (as reported). I'm sure a few other teams are making tweaks too.
