Spain will be ?key test? for new rules

This weekend's Spanish Grand Prix will be the litmus test for Formula 1's 2011 regulations, reckons Williams technical director Sam Michael, with the Circuit de Catalunya posing the toughest challenge yet for moveable wings and Pirelli's tyre plans. The Barcelona circuit has traditionally produced processional racing, with its long high-speed corners and lack of heavy braking zones making it very difficult for drivers to overtake their rivals. But with the mixture of F1's Drag Reduction System (DRS) and Pirelli's push for multi-stop races having delivered a huge increase in overtaking opportunities, there is a good chance that this year's Spanish GP will deliver more excitement.
