 Takuma Sat held the reins for Super Aguri F1s test today running more milage on the 2008 MES system in the morning and afternoon while evaluating some chasis set ups in order for the team to understand the car more. The car itself ran reliably all day which gave Sato a chance to do some long runs

Sato is expected to continue day 2s running.

beating honda would depend on how much aerodynamic updates we get before the start of the season. Its going to be tough now honda have apprently found a cure for there problems. If you believe the media we could be fighting Toyota

OK, beating Honda could be hard and not realistic, but how the hell did Toro Rosso make such a jump??

just testing dont look to much into times. We havent got the telemetry to compare we dont know the fuel load and we dont know the engine mapping and we dont know the purpose of the test.(if they still use that thanks to the ecu confused smiley)
We also dont know what there long run pace is either
