    Not true however; Recall the "cold" weather testing where we were told they'd be just fine once it got a little warmer? So much for that theory.....

    I am actually a little surprised at the change. The initial announcement (for the first four races) had Bahrain using hard & soft.

    I guess they're a little nervous about the soft and hence changed to medium.

    Lord knows what'll happen when they break out the S/S's! :eek:

    Cheers,
    Ian

    They're still waiting for the SS's they molded last year to finish curing. They keep forming rubber puddles.

    Next week they're going to add Viagra to the recipe.
    If the cars last more than four laps doctors will be called.

    That's why Jenson is so good at managing the tires, he's finally at the age where he "knows how to get things done"

    Fear not: press reports are exaggerated, the situation is under control

    I checked prices and availability of tix and hotels and have to say this race is a bargain.

    I'm considering this race at some future point in time as I'm running out of Euro GPs to do

    More than just that. Of the Arab countries this one is fairly Western. Hence my preference over Abu Dhabi.

    Apparently, that made it easy for a few folks last year to overtake off circuit =)

    Is Lord Avebury and the All-Party Parliamentary Group also calling for a worldwide boycott of McLaren?

    You can enjoy a drink at most hotels in the Emirates(minus Sharjah) including Abu Dhabi and the country of Bahrain. Lack of a beer should not keep you away from Yas.

    I know and that's not my worry. My concern is that Abu Dhabi is allegedly more insistant on married couples only in the hotel room.

    qualifying and top 3 predictions are easy, I'll predict something unpredictable:

    teams likely to score their first points this season in Bahrain

    1) Williams
    2) Marussia
    3) Caterham

    Morality or an attempt to sell more rooms?

    Ancient tradition which ultimately doesn't sell more but rather less rooms as it is bad for tourism. There are literally thousands of would-be visitors asking the same question on travel blogs.

    I wish.

    But only random sprinklers can guarantee that.

    Bah-rain will be dry. And Boh-ring.
