I too will be interested to see whether Brawn retains its competitive edge or whether the other teams will have narrowed the gap a bit.

I won't be losing any sleep if Ferrari continue their current run of poor form

Barcelona is a shit track, usually with no overtaking. I hope Vettel qualifies at the front, with Button in 2nd.

Button - Trulli - Kubica - Heidfeld are the top four after P1, although you can never tell a great deal from practice.

I agree with Bada: Barcelona is usually the low point of the year and produces dull races, so it'll be interesting to see if the car changes make much difference.

Possibly some KERS assisted overtaking down the pit straight (if anyone is still running KERS ).

Yep

Barcelona and Hungary. The two races that I don't mind missing and using Sky+ to catch up later in the day.
