Not so fast F1 We have seen a quite massive turn around with the ferrari, we shouldn't write off Honda just yet. They can change they now have enough lousy results to demand heads to roll or improvements made.

You're right of course, Snowy me old mucker, but I' afraid that I'm now sharing poor old Jense's sense of frustration. But honestly, I don't expect Honda to make it back...I want them to...but just can't see it.

They have bounced back before! And let us not forget they had no race data for the Nurburg ring last weekend

So they might have a better showing this weekend.

I can't believe it another GP is upon us!

Jenson is quite optimistic and during testing at Barca they have been running consistent laps, nothing like the laps Renault do and I suspect Ferrari are gonna be quite quick. Very early on in winter testing Massa turned some staggeringly consistent laps. It made me quite fearful that Ferrari and Bridgestone were gonna run away with the championship

fortunately they have had some tyre problems at some of the races but as I say Schuey's gonna be there or there abouts this weekend with their flexy wings! Honda should be using their flexy wings this weekend with a bit of luck

and that'll give them a boost.

their straight line speed has been total crapooka so far this season.

The Bridgestones will be no where near the Michelins in Spain

They have a 1 out of 4 success rate

The good news for Button is that he'll finish ahead of Michael but behind the Renault and Mclaren (3rd to 5th depending on how hungry Montoya is for hamburgers and the level of TLC Fisichella is given)

Oh and no one will be close to Alonso The Cute (is this off topic

sorry!!)

No not off topic and not wrong either except that if you were to visit http://www.circuitcat.com you would find lap by lap charts for every driver of every lap during winter testing and Michael when his car was running was doing consistently fast laps over and over and Massa was churning out the same lap time over and over all day! The only other cars using their tyres consistently in this manner were the Ferrari's. I put it to you that Bridgestone know which tyre to use at Barca! IMHO

I have seen those times Snowy but if I recall correctly, Alonso was even more consistent over even longer runs and he was around a second FASTER

Sure Bridgestone know which tyres to use but so do Michelin

I like your bit "Michael when his car was running"

And congratulations on your 500th post

Cute emoticons!!!

I think both Mark and Jenson are great drivers. However being an Aussie Mark is the man for me.
