Your latest acting gig?

Valencia isn't exactly a thrill a minute, but I'll watch it anyway as the way this season is going, just about anyone could win.

Still think Lewis will be strong though. Another win for him will show all the journeymen the way.

I'm far better looking than that!

I go out of my way to watch EVERY race, whatever the reputation of the circuit.

Maybe another front of the grid battle with Alonso at his home ground, the only other non-journeyman front runner in F1 today.

Hopefully Ferrari haven't reached the end of the development capabilities of the F2012. One more step forward with the Valencia upgrade like the previous upgrades have given us and it could put the F2012 at the head of the list. Valencia and Silverstone both have very large upgrades coming for the car. Upgrades for Valencia include:-
1) floor
2) front wing
3) rear wing
4) turning vanes
5) exhaust
6) rear suspension (addressing tire wear issues)

Tombazis also confirmed in the last (#9) news video that development of the car will continue until the last race.

[What's Burning?]

That F2012 is looking more like an F2012.6 given the amount of updates they've pumped into it lately. Hope they don't peak too early.
