    It will be the top four battling it out again, but I think Mercedes and Mclaren will have the upper hand here..

    Helmut Marko has given an interview in Germany saying Red Bull have sorted out their KERS. Can't see past them this weekend.

    According to Jose Luis (very reliable source), Ferrari are not able to bring all of the planned updates - so no changes to the rear suspension (also backed up by Tombazis comments today). A front wing will come, and this should make the car 3/10's faster and also fix the understeer.

    At Barcelona, updates will come to the rear end and will make the car 8-9/10's faster - which was the expected goal for Turkey.

    It will probably be another damage limitation weekend, especially if the rumours about the Mercedes update is true, however rain could come and save Ferrari's ass.

    Apparently Red Bull have sorted their Kers out, wonder if it will cause new issues if used over the whole race

    Yes! DRS is on the best possible place, the overtakes are going to look pretty impressive :)

    Also, not a very good picture, but you can see the new front wing (the one Alonso tested in Shanghai but never raced):

    Is it me, or is the front of that nose a slight rip off from the W02?... looks flatter at the front. Or have I finally lost it and I'm just imagining these things lol.

    In China Webber showed how much of an advantage fresh tyres can make, certainly more than a few grid positions. So do you think that drivers who quali for Q3 might stay in their garage and save an extra set of tyres for the race and still line up 10th on the grid? They would also be able to start on fresh tyres which would help them at the start.

    Not sure how much difference that is going to make, especially from onboard or head on. I was hoping they were going to colour the entire or majority of the sidewall.

    good to see the Ferraris and Mercedes have closed the gap. Though my Vettel predicted victory looks at risk

    Meh everyone had little practice, everybody was spinning and aquaplaning, vettel was on inters when he crashed and Lewis had no practice whatsoever stalling his car.

    It's better to mess up on a crap practice session than a good one so he has really lost nothing on his rivals unless your a Ferrari or Mercedes.
