Aaaand another tedious three week break comes to an end as we near the
2013 Formula 1 Gran Premio de Espa?a
The Track
For years this circuit near Montmel? in Catalunya as been the main testing track of F1 and therefore usually provides a good idea where the cars stand. In the past this has often led to 'noah's ark' grids, where respective team mates share a row for consecutive rows.
Due to the circuit's demanding layout, especially the aerodynamically critical final bends, this circuit often exposed what was wrong with F1 and races tended to be processional. With the advent of Pirelli's lottery tires, KERS and DRS overtaking is now a much more frequent occurrence.
