They have been testing extensively with 2 2006 cars and have very good reliability and speed.  He says its just like the Honda he knew in the late 80's early 90's...  I think Honda's gonna be very very strong.The Renault R26 was also extremely fast yesterday in testing beating out Shumi in the 2006 Ferrari followed closely by the 2 Hondas of Button and Barrichello.McLaren is in some limbo at least based on testing. Kimi mentioned some issues with the Mercedes V8 and the new car hasn't shown very good pace and reliability. Also  their famed technical director and chief aerodynamicist has defected to Red Bull.. so I think they will really struggle for pace over 2006..</p></blockquote><p></p>
