Great job with the threads as usual @chrismscotland !

I decided to take Now's £26 down from £34 a month offer. I cushioned the blow by threatening to cancel Movies and Entertainment which got reduced. :D Just need to set a reminder to play the cancellation game in 6 months time and carry on getting it for £26 rather than the £34 its due to go up to. Haha! (Kind of regret giving up F1 HD all those years ago when you could buy it separately....)

Ferrari did look much better on their long run so they're probably second behind Red Bull. Behind the top group, probably Torro Rosso (Visa Cash Grab or whatever they're actually called)

I’m going RBR > Ferrari > Alonso for race pace but still a bit of a stab in the dark given how varied test plans are.

I thought that too.
My son was following the F2 testing at Bahrain, which was happening a week before the F1 testing and the rain was crazy heavy - Most of the track was flooded and undrivable

Weather has been bizarre across the globe in recent months - wouldn't be surprised if it snowed at the race.

There is a religious reason why the whole race weekend has moved a day forwards and we should respect this.
Then there is an FIA ruling that states the race days must be a full seven days in-between..

thanks, this is the information I was looking for. I think the viewing figures in UK will take a hit with it being 3pm Saturday
 
Actually quite pleased it's on a Saturday now as it means I can go and watch Dune 2 on the Sunday (which is the only English language version showing near me).

Looking forwards to this, and excited to see whether this season of F2 can live up to the hype too.
