Spanish GP: Race or Parade?

Parade most certainly!
The way aerodynamics works on the cars now, It just stops most overtaking on
tracks like Spain.
Perhaps the rear wing (espcially FIAerraris) is made purposely to upset the
aero on any car following on particular tracks.

I think this is certainly so, but not only by Ferrari.

Isn't Barcelona always a parade? It's mostly the cars, as the GP2 races
were rather entertaining. Then again, it seemed to me that even those
cars found it a little more difficult than usual to overtake on that
circuit. Then again, since this was the first race with the new GP2 car
it is a little difficult to make such a comparison.

80% Parade 20% Race, though even that ratio is probably generous in
favour of racing.
It's been a while since I went to screensaver mode whilst watching a
race. I didn't even bother with the post race interviews. Maybe it was
a return to the "bad-old-days stupor" I felt after hearing "Ferrari
1-2, McLaren 3" Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Let me guess:
Race was won by pole-sitter?
Ferrari one-two?
Only over-taking manoeuvre was at first corner?
*yawn*

It seems that in the 18 races in the Circuit de Catalunya, 14 were won
by the pole-sitter, 3 by the second in the starting grid and 1 by the
third. I doubt that Hungaroring has a worse record.

Well, at times it can rain in Hungary and that can make it one the
best races of the season.
Let's all lobby to bring back wet races. ;-)

How do pole-to-win stats differ on Tilkedrome skidpadrings?

I won't complain. I have some of my most relaxing power naps during
Tilkedrome grands prix. Almost as relaxing as a NASCAR restrictor-plate nap.

Well, that's what happens when you 1) freeze engine development 2) have
cars in quarantine after qualifying 3) allow unlimited aero development
and 4) have an ungodly price to be an F1 team. They can't get rid of
Mosely soon enough for me. And god forbid replace him with someone with
more than one working brain cell.
