Nah, as soon as they get the lean burn/prechamber ignition working they'll be able to lean the motor out a good bit and both fuel economy nd power should increase by a good bit.

Honda told McLaren they have to run the PU in testing before they could see what's in it.

this ... is not very exciting.

Ross Brawn seems to be intrigued by the Sauber. and uh oh, here comes Monisha - watch out Ross, she might sign you up to drive.

F1 fans were left to watch more than 90 minutes of no track action, with Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton wandering out to the front of the main grandstand during FP2,to greet spectators and hand out signed caps while nothing was happening on the circuit.

It sure is close up front. I will say I'm not buying into the Ferrari faster than Merc yet. 1 race doesn't make a difference. 2 races don't make a difference. If we get to Spain and Ferrari is still hanging around then maybe I'll start to believe. I am expecting a Merc win and will be pleasantly surprised if something else should happen. Until I see different Merc and Ham are still ahead of erryone else.
