Ok, as far as i know RBR may have an aero update for Barca.

In China they extended the wheelbase by 50mm and added more ballast to the front.

Also ive heard RBR may be introducing a Carbon Fibre Gearbox.

Historically the best car walks it at barcelona.

So button to win again i think…would like to see rubens have a clear run all weekend and it be a head to head for the brawn drivers (sounds broing i know but i just cant see anyone getting near them here). I think mclaren will drop back abit from bahrain so lewis will probably be scrapping for the minor point scoring places. Lewis himself and whitmarsh have said that bahrain flattered the car and barcelona is all about having a good car aerodynamically because of the long corners so he’ll struggle here.

All the teams are allowed a limited number of ‘straight-line’ tests per year (which does not literally mean only driving in a straight line as discussed above!). Off the top of my head I think it’s eight.

Red Bull have said they won’t have a ‘double diffuser’ until Monaco, the next race, so it would be very surprising if Toro Rosso has it this weekend.
