You can never count on the tests - previous years have clearly shown that !

If google made $1 everytime someone used them to find an answer to a tech support question, they would own microsoft.

Pre-season testing times can be misleading. Minardi were very fast in pre-season testing back in 1999 but when the season came, they resumed their grid-filler role down the back-end.

Yes, the old run with one lap of fuel!

A ploy even Honda have used!

This could be different. SA are making huge steps forward. Minardi was just a lost cause, there's hope for SA.

I really hope they do well this year. Surely having more competitive cars can only be good for the sport.

And with all the honda parts they have then the coming season looks rather tasty!!

Davidson is a very good driver, and that Super Aguri has ALOT of Honda kit under the hood. It would be unlikely that the results are a true reflection of what to expect this season, but they've obviously got something alot better than last years car and are probably capable of surprising a few people in 2007!

I think I said something similar about Toro Rosso and Redbull, and just look what happened last year! To quote Murray Walker (cringe), "anythings possible in F1".

(I can't believe I just quoted that man, next I'll be buying a blow up doll of James 'fcuking' Allen!

Yup, it's going downhill with you quoting Murray. BTW: you could trade dolls with Forza. His might be a bit 'used' by the time you have them in your mailbox, but hey, it's all about variety, isn't it? You don't have to answer if your better half is around... :twisted:
