    Funny, Horner saying FA is likely to disstabilize any team. After he left Ferrari the team only went in one direcion: up. So not untrue what Horner claims. Now with staggering McLaren, he didn't show many highlights and can be replaced by any other driver.

    So in 2nd Practice at the Japanese GP the Torro Rosso of Brendon Hartley is only 1 Second Slower than Daniel Riccardo in the Red Bull, so do we think that if the Honda engine was in the Red Bull of Max he would get the same, better, or worse times

    Eh?

    I don't understand the question Paul?!?

    Comparing relative pace in practice is fraught...you don't know what programs the teams are running for a start. I imagine Honda, at their home race, will be attempting to 'look good'.

    Generally, clearly Honda have made good, steady progress this year. They may now be on a part with the Renault, but still well behind Mercedes and Ferrari The oppotunity to put their engine in the back of what is probably the best chasis on the grid next year is huge. I hope it works for them, but I fear for the engine in the tight packaging Adrian Newey likes on his cars, though I'd be surprised if there isn't a good deal of prep work going on at Torro Rosso in anticipation of the Red Bull installation.

    Well Hartly and Gasly have sort of answered the question by putting their cars 6th and 7th on the grid for tomorrow’s race.
    According to the press Honda have put an updated engine in their cars for this weekend, let’s hope it lasts the race and they can leapfrog Force India into 7th place.

    Yes, its the spec 3 engine they ran in practice in Russia, taking the grid penalties there rather than at Suzuka.

    A good showing for the Torro Rosso's today, fingers crossed for the race.

    Reading around the topic in the past, the reason for Ferrari's sudden improvement was almost certainly a lot more to do with a change of leadership / culture than it was to do with one driver. Horner I think is just spouting off...wouldn't be the first time!

    FA has had some bad press in the UK, mainly I think because he didn't get on with Hamilton at Mclaren and there were sizeable question-marks over team priorities when he (not unfairly) probably should have been the #1 driver.

    Blue '08 FD2 CTR - big, ITR-sized shoes to fill...
    Yellow '96 NSX 3.0 - oh was it worth the wait!
    Black '99 ITR - well, I had to have another one, the first was so much fun. Miss this one even more than #1...
    Blue '03 S2000 - SOLD, flawed but fun
    Blue '04 Focus TDCi Sport - SOLD, very good fun for a diesel!
    Black '00 ITR - SOLD, still missed
    Red '98 Civic VTi - SOLD, probably still bombproof
