This should be a bit of a bellwether race as to whether any team will be able to challenge for the title, or whether we can expect Brawn to keep the edge, as this is the first of the "aerodynamics" races to come... if Brawn still have the edge here, then I would say it's pretty much over (if it wasn't already anyways)... I am hoping Red Bull will kick some major ass this weekend.

Considering circuit characteristics Toyota, BMW and Red Bull should be stronger than in Monaco, McLaren and Force India worse. Brawn, Renault, Williams and maybe also Ferrari about the same as they were. Don't guess much more than that at the moment.

Kovaleinen P2 in FP2, quite a surprise as I didnt think the Mclaren would work well at this track.

OK.
My turn for the good ol' copy and paste.
Some interesting facts for this weekend's race:
-----------
Only four other drivers in the history of formula one - Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark, Graham Hill and Michael Schumacher - have won four successive races at the same venue.
The dominance of the Brawn team and Jenson Button is likely to be a spanner in the works of Massa's hopes, but Ferrari's flagging form took a big step forward last weekend in Monaco.
And Massa, who won his first grand prix in Turkey in 2006, "loves" the Otodrom layout, also securing pole position in the last three years.
"It is a fantastic track for me, a very pleasurable track for me to drive, like the big turn eight, very challenging," he said.
Only one driver in F1's history has won five consecutive races at the same track: Ayrton Senna at Monaco (1989-1993).
Also in Turkey next weekend, drivers' title leader Button could if he wins a sixth race in seven attempts snatch Schumacher's record for the best ever start to a championship campaign.
In 2002, German Schumacher won five of the first six races with his Ferrari, but finished second to David Coulthard at the seventh.
