The Focus has always seemed to run mediocre in the first half of a season. The second half usually bringing much better results. Chilton was joint 4th going into Thruxton and if he hadn't lost his Brands win he would have held 4th on his own. They just struggled to get the tyres working for them at Thruxton. But if the car is so bad, explain how he managed to finish each race several places further up the grid in what others have described as processional races with very little overtaking.
