Things ive heard about this flu is that its not so virulent as it is in mexico. And that the susceptible group is the early twenties rather than the very old or the very young who are normally most at risk.
Not sure how reliabe that uinformation is.

Wow if that's the high risk group I'm amazed it's the age you would normally consider least vulnerable.

Been looking on the net. Found the following statement in a couple of articles,

Epidemiologists are particularly concerned because the only people killed so far were normally less-vulnerable young people and adults. It’s possible that more vulnerable populations — infants and the aged — had been vaccinated against other strains, and that those vaccines may be providing some protection.

Well at least you guys dont live next to the country it originated from, so that will help you sleep at night...

LOL in Scotland we have 2 confirmed cases and 5 with mild symptoms. And well they come from about 30 miles from where I live...

I just try not think about it.

Bring it on!! Not a great track for mclaren is it? Still, I can dream Lewis to win Ah well he can try

I'm hoping Williams' aerodynamics are still good enough to keep them towards the front. Apparently their car produces the most downforce, so I'm hoping they've been working on new sidepods to reduce drag and that curious "splitter" they have under their front wing. The only clues as to what they're bringing to Barcelona was Rod Nelson saying that they will be "bolting on performance". I just hope it's enough to put them back in the fight at the top and keep Ferrari, McLaren and Renault well away.

Organisers of the Spanish Grand Prix are waiting for McLaren's go-ahead before pressing on with plans for a ceremony this week to honour Lewis Hamilton.

As is traditional at the Circuit de Catalunya, world champions are honoured with an entry along the 'Avenue of Champions' access road.

Race organisers want Hamilton, 24, to attend, but the local sports daily Marca said McLaren has not been able to confirm whether McLaren has authorised the Friday unveiling.


The event is tentatively scheduled to take place after Friday's two practice sessions.

The Spanish will love that.

Hopefully we'll see a real comparison of the Brawn and Red Bull Racing aerodynamic packages this weekend. Even if RBR don't win this time round, I can see them being the team to beat at Monaco - especially if Newey manages to get those updates spot-on.

That's exactly the problem though: with no testing of the bits, chances are that Newey could screw up the car and it loses its raw speed by compromising too much to accommodate the super diffuser...

This is true, but there's nothing saying that such an outcome is any more or less likely than him being successful. I mean, you just have to look at how little track-time the BGP 001 had pre-season...
