As RISLAR said, this comment was specifically regarding the car at Silverstone where it was clearly a long way off the pace of the Ferrari's.
I suspect it will be closer this year, but still off their ultimate race pace.
The McLaren was (and to an extent remains) better than the Ferrari on slower circuits where a bit of curb hopping helps lap times.

however judging by masa's car and kovi's at the testing the maclaren was faster and looked faster through the important parts of Silverstone. Of course that may change over the weekend, but apparently macca's have new aero parts that they were testing at Siverstone and they appeared to be working ... at least on the very windy day I was there.

This means I'm now older than the entire F1 grid.

A really good well balanced mid-season report here from Brundle, I hope he goes to the BBC next year.

Oh and something for Bada

Did you see his schedule over the past few weeks? Why on earth is Ron Dennis allowing him to honour all these media obligations ?
I thought it was laughable how he is not taking advice from Damon Hill, and the only person he listens to (his own words) is his media whore of a father.
Still he should have a good race this weekend. If he manages to maintain his concentration on the track. Ferrari are sandbagging big time at the moment IMO

I heard Brundle was testing for Hamilton. Hamilton was recording a TV advert for Old Spice or some equally trivial product.
