The double-decker diffuser
continues to be a topic as hot as the Bahrain desert. As I'm sure you're only too aware, Brawn, Toyota and Williams have the double-decker. And since it was ruled legal, McLaren, Renault and now Force India have fitted hastily-constructed interim DDDs. Force India, of course, still looking for their first points in F1.

Ah, it turns out "rising sand" is code for sandstorm. Here's intrepid reporter Sarah Holt
with more: "Good morning from Bahrain. The Sakhir circuit is canopied by blue skies and Friday's forecast is predicting temperatures will climb to 38C - which in old money is an impressive 100F. A word of warning, however, there are rumours circulating that a sandstorm could be heading this way on Sunday. It's not unheard of either as Ferrari, BMW Sauber and Toyota's winter testing session here this February was cut short for that very reason. I shall keep you posted."
From Kris in Stratford, via text on 81111:
"Well my prediction of a Brawn win last week was wrong! Any news on any teams with updated diffusers?"
0736:
The answer is no, it can't rain here. The weather is forecast to be dry and hot all weekend, although I did read one rather worrying prediction of "rising sand" on Sunday - race day. I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds exciting. Should you have experienced rising sand, or have any other matters on your mind, why not drop me a text on 81111
? It can't hurt can it?

Hello to you. The F1 juggernaut has rolled into Bahrain, 92% of which is covered in sand. It can't rain here can it???
