Well, at least team green have managed to start within a second of the Yams. Nice to see Ilmor are competitive . NOT!!!

All the times are down compared to the first Sepang test. Ilmor are going to have one tough season. OJ as well by the looks of it.

[harsha]

did you really expect Illmor to be any better...

[fatman]

no i just like to point out the obvious.

3 seconds off the pace would be understandable.

7 seconds is just embarrassing. I hope they have a good year of testing because they won't have a good year of racing.
