Crazy season. Im sure lots of people scratching their heads...
Good stuff. I'm thinking the race will sprout some funky surprises as well.

So hopefully an entertaining Valencia GP.

Hoping for a Vettel win tomorrow. I think if one race this year will be a procsession it'll be this one. That being said I think we have a chance, slim as it may be to have an 8th winner, in Grosjean, he's shown he's got terrific long run pace, and maybe with the proper strategy he could pull off a win.

Also wouldn't mind a Hamilton win, as that would give me lots of points in our Fantasy F1

Peter Sauber fears the big teams will pull ahead again on the back of Red Bull's lateset upgrade. Vettel taking pole by 0.4sec's in the tight field suggests other teams will have to copy it Lewis has already expressed concern twice this weekend that theMclaren have had no upgrades since Barcelona.

The key upgrade is a refashioning of the rear bodywork that feeds air to the underside of the diffuser. It's is a complex aerodynamic technology that the team have spent all season trying to perfect. Looks like it workd yesterday.

Despite Alonso not making the top ten Hamilton sites him as a key threat today with Ferrari's good long run pace.

Well - that GP2 sprint race has just single handedly dispelled the myth that there can't be good racing at Valencia. Those last half a dozen laps were just amazing to watch - edge of the seat doesn't do it justice - I was almost falling off my seat!!

If in the F1 race we have different tyre strategies from team to team, I am looking forward to seeing what materialises!

Please, any of you that have sky and missed it, record the sprint race when it's replayed later and watch it!

Just IMAGINE what the Jenson Button thread would be like if Fraffy was still here... this place would be torn apart at the seams.

There might even be some discussion in it. Ye Gods!!!!

Anyhoo to matters of the European GP, Glock to miss European GP on doctors orders.

Time for a ballsy test driver to get in the car with absolutely no time behind the wheel at all this weekend would the FIA even allow that?? I think not. Sounds like a guaranteed first turn accident waiting to happen. But $#@! it, I'D DO IT!!

Love SKY F1 coverage,4.5 hours of non stop F1,now on driver parade bus,great stuff.

[elfinitty]

Now gonna look for a place where I can watch F1 otherwise I'll probably run out of quota and watch it on the internet.That might be too much work for Valencia too

Indeed. I hope Maldo makes it to the end.

Him and Grosjean. Hope they focus on each other and not screw with the front row at the start!

[scotty]

And there i was hoping he might just take out those two gimps in front and leave a gloriously clear path for Lotus. But Grosjean is a far more likely collision suspect... (edit - as Hammer says)

‎"That glorious creation that is a McLaren with Lewis at the wheel" yes Martin B knows the score
