[F1] Spanish Grand Prix : 10.05.09

  Venue: Circuit de Catalunya, Montmeló
  Laps: 66
  Race start: 8 p.m. Singapore time.

  Characteristics: Very technical mixture of long fast and slow corners, abrasive surface. High downforce is required, and a good aerodynamic efficiency is especially an advantage.

  Prime tyre compound: Hard
  Option tyre compound (with green bands): Soft

  Two pitstops will be the norm across the board. The teams will probably try to maximise their time on the option compound. Wet weather is not expected this weekend. It has not rained during the race since 1996. Qualifying will be a close affair due to the familiarity of testing here in winter. A small unknown will be the performance jump that each team will enjoy due to major part upgrades.
