    Are mclaren the only team not sending their race drivers to the test? Seems a bit odd

    Yeah according to the schedule I saw, mclaren are the only team (bar HRT of course) who don't have one of their race drivers there for at least one day of the test. Confidence or sufficatingly inflexible and pedantic?

    I can understant using the test drivers - after all they do most of the sim work i guess. but surely both drivers need some time to understand the tyres and new parts (if any)

    Anyone see the Moto GP? Decent race, superb race by our own Cal Crutchlow, 3 fourths in a row now, this time only a couple of seconds behind the factory bike of lorenzo, and leader.

    Missed sounds like a good season so far though. I spent my sunday thinking how glad i was to not have booked tickets for the Thruxton BTCC round this year.

    Some cracking races, especially the Porsche race later in the day - started on slicks on a damp track and then it started to rain again. Some brilliant catches and slides with a really tense finish at the front.

    He was just fastest at Mugello test is all. I reckon I'm going to put a bet on him for next year.

    He'll be driver of the season, I reckon. He's an exciting driver.

    This post is unsuitable for those with a high rumour-sensitivity.

    What we saying for Spain then?

    Mclaren v red bull for pole, everyone else a bit back I think. Ferrari will be a bit closer but still out of the top three. Lotus....who knows

    Vettel pole and win I think, saw somewhere that 10 of last 11 races have been won from pole.

    Perez for the win ;)

    A re-run of last year would be fine by me.

    I think those stats are slightly deceiving though, especially at montmelo. Vettel pole and win would be depressing

    Vettel pole and win would be ominous!
    Just did a bit of research, 16 out of last 20 races at catalunya have been won from pole.

    Yeah, in the times when it was difficult to overtake anyway, catalunya was one of the worst - teams know the track too well. Slightly different era now though. Webber got pole last year didn't he?

    I only thing I know I'm doing is leaving Vettel out of my top 10.
