So are we any wiser ?

Pre Season testing is finished! That's a relief.
So do we have a better idea on who's hot and who's not ? Or has all this data confused us more ?
It certainly appears that both Renault and McLaren are fast and seem to be reasonably reliable (particularly McLaren compared to their past pre-season testing problems)
Ferrari showed their speed on a couple of days but appeared to struggle on other days. BAR looked fast but suffered many engine failures earlier in testing and Williams didn't appear fast.
Confusing yes, very!
And those in the comp, picking the top 8 and pole will be hard!
May the racing in Melbourne be close!

I think we can say that Renault and McLaren have improved. Williams are stuggling and BAR may have engine problems.
Toyota could be racing with Jordan
Not sure about Ferrari though
I hope Sauber will do well

Is Sir Frank starting to lose it?

Sounds to me like a few people at Williams have lost the plot
Perhaps they are going through a phase like McLaren
Testing, well yes I think we know that some teams have improved, some teams haven't and some teams just simply don't know

Late sunday we will be a lot wiser, and perhaps sadder!

Cheer up mate
We won't be any sadder
We want close racing and we'll get it
Webber, well there is always next year

Exactly
Seriously, we know that McLaren and Renault are fast. Ferrari and BAR maybe and Williams slow. Webber confirmed this

Webber also said he expected major improvements shortly

The real test is Melbourne of course but McLaren, Renault, BAR look fast.
There is a concern over Honda but they'll get it right in time.
May the best win
Go Jenson!

The last few years have shown, unfortunately, that the best drivers rarely win

Are you related to Graham by any chance ? Mclaren cannot win because Montoya will keep taking Kimi out with desperate down the inside outbraking attempts
