TBH I don't know what to expect. They were poor last year but the birth of the W01 was very compromised. If they continue to be off the pace this year then I think you can legitimately call 2009 a fluke. Time will tell I guess.

I shall continue my tradition of not commenting on testing times beyond saying they're interesting. :)
It was a combination of several factors. Firstly that in 2008 they realised their car was an absolute dog very early on and set to work on the next years car very early, meaning they had lots of time to do development, plus at the time they had oodles of cash from Honda, I remember reading that at the time the Brawn was the most expensive F1 car ever developed.Quote:

None of these new cars are anywhere near their top speed yet...Hence why the HRT was so far up the standings today. TBH, The testing results are so for safe to ignore completely.
