Here we go, then, the best part of the weekend, if you ask us here at Sidepodcast Towers. All the action from qualifying, plus the only time you can speculate on strategy before it is laid out before you.

Weather update

Nice and dry out there so far, if a little cool. The thermo-cam showed how cool the mechanics in the pitlane are compared to their normal heat status. The clouds continue to be ominous, though.

One to watch

I am going to have to say Lewis Hamilton again. He's got the new parts on board, at the expense of Kovalainen (sorry Amy!), and he's topped two of the practice sessions so far. What can he do in qualifying?

Predictions please

Who will get the all-important pole position? Will we see any big names drop out early? Will BMW be able to do anything? How far can Force India get?
