I wonder if they'll move the whole team to Japan. It's still essentially a British team, which is where all the expertise is in theory, but Honda have to be wondering why they're funding a British team that isn't performing. They might think that there's more to be gained long term by setting up a genuinely Japanese team to compete.

And at this rate, they could slip behind their own B-team.

looks like the momentum has shifted to Ferrari

which should give the latter part of the season a bit more spice

will be interesting to see how well Alonso copes if he's not in the best car

I forgot about the BMW! By god is that thing ugly or what. I can't believe they allowed it on to the car and BMW should be thrown out of F1 for bringing the sport into disrepute with the help of ugly styling to cars. What were they thinking? Let's see if they help them in any way and if they provide a big advantage we will see all cars with the fins. God help us.

agree.. ferrari are pumped up.. but the biggest factor in F1 is tyres.. then the team..

the only michelin car in the top 5 is alonso.. both of the toyota cars were quicker than Kimi in quali 1 2 & 3.. MF1 team (albers) was 16th..and close to the midfield times.. when normally they are at the back..

so the fact that 3 bridgestone teams have all done pretty well might be that they have all improved the cars at the same race.. but more likely that the tyres are working well (at least in single lap times)

It will be interesting to see how Bridgestone work through the race rather than one lap.
