I wouldn't have thought it would be no more dangerous than last year - all that is missing from that area is a bargeboard, which wouldn't be very strong anyway.

These cars look absolutely ridiculous, like a higher budget version of an F3 car. Definitely don't like the look of things so far.
after 14 years an senna back to track
I just find ridiculous that they gave to an useless idiot 48 laps in that car and to Senna just 16 laps.
Well, he'll be back on track only on wednesday. Hopefully with more mileage he'll get used to this *crap RA108* and understand how to come around its problems.

To be honest, its Senna who has his worth to prove to Honda, and not the other way around. So what if he only got 16 laps. At least he got to test an F1 car at all, and yet your still moaning.
If Bruno is any good he only needs 16 laps to impress

Because that 'useless idiot' has 16 years of experience of driving an F1 car and 9 months of driving this particular one. Assuming this isn't the exact same car that lapped the track at Interlagos, or if they're trying something different in preparation for 2009, then he might just have a little bit more experience to give some feedback to the team.
//edit: assumed he meant Rubens, who wasn't testing. Point stands, though obviously to a much less degree.

oh come on 16 laps for someone who has never driven an F1 before
and 48 for someone who has been driving a Renault for +/- 2 years.
Ridiculous. It should have been the other way around. 16 laps is not enough to prove something

Loeb has driven a Renault R27 before.
Therefore he obviously had previous experience to do better.
