Fair enough then, they don't look quite so ridiculously bad then. :)

McLarens did short runs ..Hamilton's time was done on 3 lap run and Heikki's on 7 lap stint.

I reckon it's going to be very one-sided.

Honda's times were looking shocking today...everyone else was above the 1m22 barrier (including Force India) while they were in the 1m24s. I really do think that Honda and SA will be filling the back two rows of the grid this season.

Yup it's hard to see how any car with a Honda engine will be scoring points this year


BMW looking a little sluggish too

From what I heard the real race pace starts at kimi then Lewis, the rest were on shorter runs so in that case BMW are not to bad.

Not really.

They have better equipped wind tunnels than Ferrari.

They are pretty much top the field together with Toyota in hybrids.

It will be by no means an easy task, but certain things are already in place.

its alright having better equipped wind tunnels but perhaps honda should have read the manual on how to use it. hybrids is all good an well but has nothing (atm) to do with f1.

Yes, but we're discussing Brawn's 3 year plan, right?

And FWIW the 2011 version of KERS is going to be one of the biggest engineering challenges for some time for the engine guys.

I'm gonna bet Honda will be a major surprise in 2008. Not like BMW last year but something like Williams did they can do this year. Wait and see now.

It's not hard to surprise when everyone's expecting you to be awful. I'd be surprised if they made it into Q2 with both cars for example.
