POLAR INERTIA
Honda’s ridiculous Gaia-sponsored Formula One car is glacially slow in final practice for the Australian Grand Prix - Honda drivers Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello are respectively 17th and 15th out of 22 runners.
Meanwhile, environmentalism-scorning Anthony Davidson is a remarkable fourth fastest in his Honda-engined Super Aguri; teammate Takuma Sato is ninth. In other results: Kimi Raikkonen is quickest, Mark Webber is 11th, and Lewis Hamilton (“Had he made any changes in his personal life to fall into line with the eco agenda growing pervasive in F1? No, not really”) is third. Qualifying soon.
