Nobody wants to talk about how RB looked way better than JB this past weekend?

Could be the team has finally decided to set up RB's car the way he really wants it and has given up with expecting him to like a modifies JB set up.
for team honda sake lets hope that the case.

Frank isn't letting Nico get out of his sights. He's got Nico lock, stock and barrel.

Good point Doug. JB was so unimpressive I lost track of him during the race.

Oh wait,....KABLOOMY! No wonder I lost track.

100% correct. We have seen over and over JB do some great qualifying, only to have team problems or just not have enough speed, and while we were watching that we were seeing RB trotting along near the back of the pack, doing poor qualifying and poor racing.

Now all of a sudden Honda has made radical changes to RB's setup, right down to different brake parts so he can drive the car in his style; and bang, he goes really fast. My point is, this could be like a Ferrari win in '06, NOT A FLUKE!
