I think its relatively slow, by 2009 standards, but in reality its not a bad car. Look at the difference in Q3 (or Q2) times from front to back and the field is actually pretty close compared to 3-4 or even 10 years ago.
Unfortunate situation, but I dont really see how they will work the way up.... IMHO its not so much they can't do the job, its just I feel the others can do a better one.
With STR now reguarly keeping RBR on their toes and once (its only time) Piquet goes, there is going to be a fair gap (relative!!!
) between Fif1 and the others.
