Well, I think we can agree that the R4 was a dog, so it would take quite a leap to make the R5 into a front-of -the-grid car, and I really don't think team Jaguar is capable of doing that in one season...

Actually I don't agree that the R4 was a dog. The R3 was a dog, the R4 was a marked improvement over the R3. The R4 finished one point behind Sauber in the constructors last year and that was mainly because they didn't have the Bridgestones for the last two races. Considering where they came from with the R3 the R4 was not a dog. As I stated earlier it is still too early to judge the R5. It's shown flashes of speed let's see how it evolves.
