Well yes, but probably not visibly slower. Not in the same way that Thrust SSC would make them look visibly slower.

Sometimes those HRT's, Virgin's and Lotus's looked 'visibly' quicker than the rest of the field. Probably because they handled so badly.

In any case, the stop-watch shouldn't be used to judge a cars overall performance.
