I doubt it'll rain either, because it's coming into the spanish summer right now. Not that we get rain at Barcelona that often anyway. Barcelona is just pretty processional every year.
None the less, it'll be interesting to see where all the teams end up. If anything, I'd say this won't be a McLaren track. Red Bull should be fast here yet again, as should Ferrari. With Alonso at his home circuit, who would dare put it past him winning this race. Then again the man who stopped Alonso winning his home race the last time is in the other car. Barcelona's a track Massa usually goes really well around. I also wonder if Red Bull will struggle with tyre wear at all, which would give Ferrari an advantage.
Then again. 3 week break and everyone is looking to bring updates to the cars. Everything could change.
Renault and Mercedes will probably bring massive updates. Since there's been all this talk about them bringing almost a b-spec car, whilst Renault have said their situation over the winter means they still have loads they've to put on the car. Whether or not they'll be closer to the top 3 on pure pace is another thing. Even so, Rosberg was pretty quick during quali in china. So clearly the cars not all that bad at the moment.
