Who's going to the Melbourne F1?
i mite be... but probz juz for free practice or quali....
rather watch the race @ home...
but fkn hell... button just put in the fastest lap of the test thus far... that things a rocket... n hes running on race fuel loads...
Honda coulda made a HUGE mistake dropping out of this years championships...
as it stands now... from what testing is telling us... honda r among the top 3... even top 2.... (gut feeling says #1)
n all this considering (apprently) honda stopped development of this chassis in December....
oooh im pretty pumped, im going to be in the grand stands (fangio/schumach/clark/brab) and doing a pit walk on sunday morning.
Button looks promising. Honda had it going for them.
that's not exactly buttons fault but.. its like saying i dont think hamilton is any good.. it is also a major factor upon the car... in 2006 honda was one of the top teams, then when they ditched BAR it was downhill there on out.. hamilton for example wouldnt be good either if he was in a super aguri... this year "honda drivers" will be awesome. Team Honda is now called Brawn Racing and will be a powerhorse my bet, its got the mclaren's engines and the aerodynamics guru of ferrari when they were indestrucible.. shall be a good season for them hopefully..Quote:

I hope they get a podium that would show honda how lame their team was until it was sold
man....
Honda failed by leaving...
heres some quotes taken from here: http://en.f1-live.com/f1/en/headline...12084418.shtml
i kno its powered by a mer v8.. but that only plays a small part in its pace...Quote:
"If it stays like this, Brawn GP will be all by themselves at the front in Melbourne," Sebastian Vettel marvelled to Germany's Auto Motor und Sport.
Likewise, Fernando Alonso on Wednesday admitted that the BGP001 currently seems faster than his Renault. "Brawn is not such a surprise for me because they have been preparing their car for a long time."
"They have done great work with the aerodynamics," the Spaniard added.
After a similarly impressive Monday and Tuesday in Spain, Button's Mercedes-powered car, fundamentally designed under Honda ownership last year, was a full second and more quicker than the chasing Ferrari, BMW and Toyotas.
its still a honda @ heart...
btw if anyones wondering why they're saying this.... yesterday Jenson topped the time sheets.... a full ONE SECOND clear of #2 massa in the Ferrari
man BrawnGP is the fastest by far....in testing....Honda Chassis FTW....
merc power to good..
