Sato has a full 1.7s advantage over Barrichello. Altho given the fact that he's running a different spec engine, that's still very very impressive of an Honda engine :shock:

He was also a couple of tenths faster than Michael did the previous day. I think its safe to say BAR is the greatest threat...

Still don't know if BAR was doing a low fuel run??

Perhaps Ferrari isn't going for fast times. BAR are the closest to Ferrari at the moment so it's possible but I won't bet against Ferrari's race pace. I'd dearly love to see ferrari beaten.

Ferrari beaten by Honda would be great for me as a Honda fan!

BAR-Honda is doing very well this season.

Hopefully they will be able to continue until the end of the season!

i'm afraid those times look very suspect, maybe if only BAR beat the Ferrari times but Toyota aswell i really don't think they are anywhere near a Ferrari beating package, misleading fuel loads would be my guess unless BAR and Toyota were trying out radical improvements at the same time very unlikely to be true times IMO I mean that sort of time difference is light years in F1 terms if you add that sort of tme difference over a race then BAR walk away with the race
