Nope - Angel with Horns (see sig!).
Without interrupting your romantic flirting between you and Andrew.

I'm sure I'm not the only one but when I look at your sig, my eye doesn't get attracted to the Horns. That great bottom gets in the way.

That's YOUR problem then if one might call that a problem...

Perez was out of sync with the front runners though so his time didn't mean much.

As for the fastest car? Never knew McLaren was or ever proclaimed to have the fastest car.

Who agrees with me. I admit I have problems

I know, but it still shows the speed, not even on a totally empty tank.

everybody thinks the Mclaren is the best car. it's a fact pushed forward by the dominance of Australia. This dominance was clear to most in the general media, however those that watch closely and study the performance realise Aus suited the car and while it's clearly a front runner it aint dominant, nor the fastest at many other circuits.

Haha you're using Australia as basis for McLarens overall performance? You clearly have no idea about the development race in F1. In this case let's use Australia to determin Ferraris pace now too shall we?
A lot has changed since then, this season has shown from race to race the pecking order changes due to the tyre compounds and tracks suiting characteristics of the cars.

To say one car is overall fastest this year when we've had 6 winners from 5 constructors in 6 races is foolish!

Well I think you should reread my original post again to save further confusing. I never said McLaren had the fastest car...

nor did i, i said they appeared to have by others. that rumour should have been expelled. they have a front runner, but depending on the track it's clearly not the one everyone is chasing.

What was with your comment about not watching closely this year then?

They say you're only as good as your last race.

So I'm gonna put it simply and say red bull with mark webber at the wheel is the fastest car right now...until canada, then we'll see who's fastest then. Problem solved

Really though, red bull is the only constructor with 2 wins so far and the highest on the WCC points atm

Not bad for a #2 driver

If you look at the first three races, while there was some variation among the teams, McLaren was consistently at or near the front in terms of speed. (Penalties for gearbox changes notwithstanding). So, it appeared that the McLaren was the fastest car, but that variations in the tracks meant that sometimes Mercedes would be just faster than McLaren, or Red Bull would be faster. But the one car that was consistently at or very near to the front was the McLaren, indicating overall superior speed.

In the second three races, the situation is looking different. Canada will tell us more.

I believe McLaren is still the fastest overall, but the fastest car doesn't usually win races this season.... the best strategy does (even in quali).
(If Mcs had better strategies and ferraris pit-crew they would dominate this year) and I wouldn't trust monaco times to determine the true speed of the cars, canada will show as who is the fastest now.
