But yeah - I feel really sorry for Bunsen. He actually has already written his title hopes off and did it yesterday...

Super Aguri have one of te best if not the best test driver in their team. Read it and weep, bunsen, because the ant is going to kick your ass!!

I don't think Team Honda have a test driver who can help with R&D the way ant did, nor help with feedback to set the car up for races. If you read bunsen's comments after quals in Pitpass, you'll note that he had great problems with his tyres, whereas the Super Aguri drivers were ecstatic.
Bunsen will have a lean year, and I think that's what he himself is predicting.When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

Honda are beginning to make a rather bad habit out of starting the season with an unsorted car, only its worse this year because they gave the fully developed 06 car to the B team (and it was the 2nd or 3rd fastest car in F1 by Brazil last year). Things will change, SA arent going to have that much development done on the car and there's not a lot of potential left in it anyway. I expect Honda will sort the car out to about the same level that they finished last season, but will probably be at least mid-season by then.
