Ok well I acknowledge that they have improved greatly. All I'm saying is it's hard to know exactly where everyone stands when there's such a gap in performance between the new-style diffuser cars and the standard diffuser cars.
I just want to note that the times were taken from www.itv-f1.com/. I'm new to posting on digg, and couldn't find the edit button >_<. I think that there is a chance that this will happen later in the season as the teams continue to develop the cars. I don't think that McLaren is going to bounce back that much, I think they will end up being like last years Renault. It's going to be interesting to see, but I really think that BrawnGP has found a good car, with or without the diffusor
I would say the diffuser is entirely the reason Brawn is ahead of Ferrari, McLaren, BMW, and maybe Red Bull. Other mechanical improvements may have pushed them in front of Williams, Toyota and Renault, but its the diffuser that's put them in front of those top teams. At least that's how I see it. Time will tell if I'm correct.

Yep, Jenson had a bum deal when Brawn was Honda. I love to see him up there.

@dan: maybe not top the field but certainly close.

All I can say is we'll see. It's a feeling I have. You're free to have another feeling if you'd like.
