Hi Ed what'

s up?

Ed · Post by Ed » Sat Aug 26, 2006 7:23 pm

Thanks Snowy for the updates. We are having some difficulties with the satellite reception

Don't mention it Ed, hope your reception improves for Qualifying.

An observation

Rubens and Jenson are 15th and 16th through the speed trap 11kph slower than Schumacher and alonso. There are three possible explanations for this 1) they are not using all their revs 2) they have barn doors fitted on the rear 3) the Honda engine is the least powerful on the grid!

They and Antony were just as slow through the speed traps yesterday, It doesn't make sense to be running with so much wing on this one of the fastest and flowing circuits there is.
