Default *F1 Spoiler* Imola

Honda is finally making a huge stand this season with Button taking second @ Imola and sitting Pole, it was sad to see Sato blow up again with under 5 laps and cause Honda Constructor points to be lost. Hopefully they will keep up the good work this season and give a good shot at Button taking 2nd in the drivers Championship and possibly give Honda a top 3 Constructors title.

I guess all of this we owe to the new Head of Honda who is trying to take their racing programs back to their roots and where Honda belongs.

This was a real good job by Button! It was disheartening to see how much faster the Ferrari in Schumachers hands still is in race trim. BTW, good job on the thread title! (Never let it be said that I only grumble when people post spoilers and never give praise. )

Glad to see Honda and Button getting results. I am so tired of the hype over Kimi and JPM. Montoya's a crybaby. Still Schumacher is in a class of his own.

Montoya's always a freakin' cry baby. Sato's luck just plain sucks - he's got talents that needs another season to bring out, but unfortunately I don't think he'll get another chance. Button's performance was excellent today Go BAR!

I think Sato is performing well enough to hold his Position with BAR, he does have some dumpy luck this season, could have had two top 10 finishes if it wasn't for engine failure.

I was talking to smccurry and posed the theory that Sato is doing reliability testing on new parts for future engines. Afterall, we all know WHY he has the job in the first place.... maybe the condition is that he has to be the geniea pig for new parts.

The advantages that Ferrari have is that they spend double the amount of $$$ in a season than any other team.

I don't doubt Button getting second place in Drivers and Honda 2nd in Constructors.

HONDA!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sick of Schumacher's dominance in the sport, I hope he will retire after this season. I'm surprised by Honda's and Button's sudden surge, nice to see though. And Montoya is a cry baby sometimes, but I would be pissed too with you're trying to go for the pass and Schumacher puts you in the grass!

Kimi was extremely hyped up for a long while now. It must not be great to be him right now having scoring only 1 point so far.
