Of course they are not running low fuel loads, simply because they have the fastest car at the moment so there is no need, and it was interesting to hear Jenson saying he felt more stable with a higher fuel load, so they should blitz the race if they dont have any mechanical issues. Ferrari have a good chance of getting 3rd and 4th.

who knows if they'll win,so far this reminds me of when Renault won back to back championships after the last major rule changes,and it's because they adapted the quickest,it may take 8 races it may take two seasons,but at some point the normal order will return,once the bigger teams get it together.

Another thing is how long that car has been getting tested.Brawn said this car was getting designed and worked on within weeks of him joining Honda, so they could of been testing it and tweaking it for the last 8-9 months whilst Ferrari and Mclaren teams would of had most of their resources developing the cars right until the final race of the season,so they would be behind.

Plenty will hinge on he defuser issues though,because if they do get deemed illegal they lose most of the advantage they have at the moment.

I'm guessing the exra weight is helping keeping the rear a little more planted,as those mini wings don't get the downforce from last year,combined that extra weight with the rear diffuser and they would get a little more grip than the other cars
