    Reality check at Honda

    Or maybe Button is trying to hide their real performance?

    What he says in that article is consistent with what RB said! (It’s posted on another thread)
    Apparently they both think the car is a dog at this point of the season!
    May the forza be with you

    It's either not a good car, or they've been bluffing and sandbagging.

    Sadly I think it's the former.

    A team must have crappy drivers if they both are whining before even the first race. Lose the 'Ralf'-spirit Butt-on.

    It looks to be a repeat of last season and I think, as Renault and Alonso has shown, is that you need to score consistently early in the season or else you have no chance to catch up to anyone...

    Similar comments are coming from Red Bull. Both teams had high hopes for 2007 - Honda after their break through win, and Red Bull with the signing of Adrian Newey - but it seems that the early signs for both aren't great

    Maybe Honda will be able to challenge for wins as the season goes on, but that's not enough for a championship challenge. 2008 maybe

    In Honda's case there is always a next year - now we are talking about 2008 already. Then 2009, etc. :

    What's the point of saying it's a great car when it isn't
    Jim Raynor will be returning soon!
