Will Honda finish ahead of Super Aguri?

After France I thought Honda would get more points fairly easier and be able to overhaul them but now with Honda looking even worse in Hungary its going to be very touch and go.

I can't see where the next Honda point is going to come from, Super Aguri may well pip Honda this year, what story that would be!

I can't see Honda claiming another point this season unless we have a race of high attrition at the likes of Spa or Fuji. They were terrible last time out at the Hungaroring and with Barrichello prediciting it will be at least a month before they will begin to improve they could have fallen even further behind.

Although Aguri seem to be going backwards, possibly due to a lack of funds, the high aerodynamic circuits coming up like Istanbul and Spa will really show up the senior Honda team's shortcomings

No. Honda are pathetically slow and seem to be getting worse. Super Aguri are also getting worse, but neither of them looks likely to score another point this year. That means Super Aguri will beat Honda. Which will make me very happy indeed.

No. They have gone backwards even since France, where their big improvement was meant to happen. They falied to score in Canada and the Nurburgring when there were many retirements, so I would say they have no chance.

The Nurburgring was a bit of an anomaly. Button drove extremely well there, for three laps. If he'd driven well for another 57, instead of throwing it at the scenery, it might be a different story.

Barrichello didn't drive at all well though.

Nope, they might score in Spa if it rains but then again so could Aguri. 9th in the WCC who would have thought that at the start of the season, 10th if Liuzzi hadnt crashed out from 5th in Canada.

I think not. Not with that car, anyway.

I think Honda should scrap the season. Worry about next year.

They won't beat SA.

Well it would only take one good result but with Rubens saying that improvements are a month away it's not looking likely.

In a month they won't be the only ones who will have improved, although I am not anticipating much from Super Aguri.

Funny how the driver that Honda got rid of has probably made his team beat them (Honda) in the constructors.

I really hope Super Aguri beat Honda, in fact it would be great if everyone beat them.

Just because it would?

I think it would be great to see Ferrari come last and watch Luca crying over his espresso.

I would rather see Mclaren finish last and then see them cheat their way back to the top like this year <angel> , to be honest i dont take much pleasure in drivers careers being ruined, even although im not much of a Button or Barrichello fan i feel sorry for them and it must be especially tough for Button after driving so well last year.

I felt Barrichello could have scored a whole bundle of points at Monaco and Canada, but didn't due to poor strategy from Fry.
