I like to believe McLaren has taken a big step forward, Ferrari a little one and BMW have remained stationary. But there is the destinct possibility McLaren have taken a small step, Ferrari have remained stationary and BMW is imploding!

The reason all the drivers are out so early is due the predicted rain
