Wow. . . nice stuff. That BAR car is definitely up there (still a bit off Ferrari though) but definitely competing w/ the Williams and Renault.

I like Sato, but the thing is that his driving always seems like it is one step away from disaster. He needs to focus more on drive without mistakes and he'll definitely be a great driver.
