Well Button starts the Australian F1 from pole position while Barrachello starts from 16 place in exactly the same car. Button has been on the pace much of the year while Barrachello has been anywhere but. The Honda test driver Anthony Davis has been fastest through all the practice sessions, all the testing both at official F1 weekends and on the many test sessions throughout winter, mostly outpacing Button.

I understand that Barrachello has come form a different team with a car that handles differently but even at Ferrari Schumacher regularly out paced him and he was left out of the points on many occasions while Schumy was taking poles and F1 wins. How long do you think it will take for Honda to seriously look at the situation, I firmly believe that Davidson should be given the drive for a full F1 weekend to see what he can do in the race. If Honda really want to win races, and more importantly for them the constructor’s title, then they need two cars at the top or at least in the points every race weekend.
