Grid Crasher guesses uses expert judgment to forecast ten things that may happen this weekend in Barcelona

1. The grid girls in Spain (see above for the 2007 models) will show more flesh than the grid girls in Bahrain.

3. Max Mosley will not turn up wearing a cheap Groucho Marx “glasses and false nose” disguise.
