Default F1 - BAR-Honda for real!

Button, in the BAR-Honda, qualified 4th!

Holy crap, they are for real this year!

Will this be the year of the "Big 5"?

Watching those rev's whip forward from left to right was crazy. Jeson revved up to 18.5k.

Yeah, he tied for third with JPM. According to the commentators Jenson was suppose to be third because he came out of the pits first, but nothing happend. What was that about?

The BAR006 is amazing, but those Ferraris are still the force to be reckconed with. I'm so excited about the race.

BTW, BAR made the top 5 last year.

I'm thinking that BAR will make the top 3 this season.

The commentators f---ed up. They later corrected themselves. JPM took 3rd because his 1st round Q time was faster.

BAR did make the top 5 last year, but the gap from 4th to 5th was GIANT.

It looks to be a bit smaller this year, from what I've seen so far.



Man, I cannot wait for the race tomorrow. 18 races this year! Could you imagine tuning into the first week of American Football and having them say "oh yeah, we are going to play 18 games this season instead of 16"

F1 rules!

Hope BAR weren't just running a little light.

Schumi looked so smooth out there though.

BAR busted their butts to switch Jensen into their third car. He had a chassis failure in practice, and to move to the backup car, the driver's original engine has to come with him. So they did the swap just in time for qualifying, and Jensen pumped out his best lap of the weekend. Takuma also had his fastest lap of the weekend when it counted.
