I think this is done with a illegal car. BAR admitted that car had low fuel.
Anyway, great job! Intresting season coming!!

If the BAR begins to beat the Mclaren where are we going ??
Seriously, i think they were not all in the same configuration or perhaps not looking for the same type of perf.

ferrari where a lot of times winterchampions in the times of alesi/berger/mansell

This time look promising, hopefully they can carry the form for the whole season.

BAR is growing up and up, i guess. Why coudn´t they be faster than the others? yeah, i know it´s hard to believe, but i guess they´ll be so competitive this year as Renault and Maclaren, or Williams. If they won´t be better.

And now Sato goes fastest in the ol' hybrid 005. I reckon they have some genuine pace (maybe not as much as has been shown the last couple of days) and hopefully enough to challenge Renault for the 4th position. With Williams/McLaren/Ferrari all going for wins and BAR/Renault taking the scraps with an occasional win it could be a really interesting season.

The numbers are nice. but let's see if these guys can actually make it to the end of every race.

Obviously latest news that honda plans to withdraw from f1 have a lot to do with it. Bar trying too hard to prove they are competitive. I bet any of the 3 top teams can beat barcelona times but it's not time to show off for them..
