Even if we're probably looking forward to another Michael Schumacher/Ferrari tour-de-force this weekend, at least we can be sure of some 'hot action'.
Those awfully nice people at the FIA have organized another red hot press conference for Friday, with Ron Dennis and Paul Stoddart scheduled to appear, along with Eddie Jordan, David Richards and Tony Purnell of Jaguar.
Last year there was much gnashing of teeth, and thumbing of thick, sinister looking, files, in Canada when Paul and Ron went head to head, in one of the most famous encounters in F1 history.
With McLaren languishing in sixth position in the Constructors' Championship, and a whole range of other issues - mostly involving money - still to be wrapped up, expect another clash of egos.
Thursday's press conference should be a far more sedate affair, with Ross Brawn and Rubens Barrichello in action at 11:00, and Frank Williams and his 2004 drivers Juan Pablo Montoya and Ralf Schumacher on duty at 11:30.
Thank you FIA
