Honda shows you can do worse than FERRARI even if their performance sucks through Bridgestone..............................

sorry for Jenson and Anthony..............
Will the Bridgestones performe late in the race?

ED - thanks for keeping us up to speed on the race!
Maybe we should get some Vegas or MGs for the Ferraris - even kart tyres would be better than the B'stones.
