neilap should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I have to say that I think what is keeping JB from beating these guys is the equipment he is working with. I am a big Honda fan but its reality. The car does not make enough downforce. In-turn they have to run more downforce than normal. In qualifying its not that detrimental but when trying to overtake in the races its more difficult. The motor is also not the most powerful on the grid. Its suspected that Mac and Cosworth both have more power.

That said the car is obviously a very good base. For JB to be disadvantaged and still be competitive says a lot about JB's skills and the car. Once their new wind tunnel is fully functional I expect to see a leap forward.
