0903: Red Bull's Seb Vettel goes against usual form by staying on the track for a second lap after his first taster. It's not a flyer though. 0900: Timo Glock is the first man out of the traps, quite a few following the Toyota. If you are UK-based, I recommend you refresh this page and you'll have moving pictures to look at. 0853: I know someone else who's looking forward to some close-up diffuser shots - and that's BBC Sport's Sarah Holt, who reports from Barcelona that the sun is just trying to poke its way through the clouds. She also tells me there is a 60% chance of rain on race day. "The teams to watch today," she adds, "are Ferrari, who have had a major upgrade, and Toyota and Brawn, who have made some tweaks in a bid to stay ahead of the pack." From James, Acton, via text on 81111: "It's like the first race of the season again! I'm looking forward to some close-up diffuser shots as the session progresses." From Nick in Bristol via text on 81111: "I appreciate your football comparisons but surely Brawn are more akin to Onions' performance in the cricket; a remarkable debut?" 0844: It's a new beginning in Spain - or a "nuevo comienzo" if you like. After four 'long-haul' races, the F1 bandwagon has made its way back to Europe - where the teams have made upgrades to their cars ready for another push. 0837: So will Brawn turn out to be the F1 equivalent of Hull City? Will Ferrari leave behind their early season struggles and rise, like Tottenham, to the heady heights of, er, mid-table? Should I stop drawing tiresome comparisons between F1 and the Premier League? Don't answer the last one. If you want to answer the first two though, why not drop me a text on 81111? Lovely. 0830: Hello there. Trust you've tweaked your chassis, hastily fitted a double-decker diffuser and are ready for part two of this absorbing F1 season?
