Honda's brand spanking new engine the third gen RA004E is even more powerful than the older versions. Given they already have the most hp of all teams this might just be the race that Honda spanks the competition.

What kind of passing zones does track have? Coming into this with high horsepower, I'm sure they'll be looking to pull away in the straights.

Well the famous woodland straights are gone since 2002. Its got medium and slow speed corners, the key is to get out of those corners fast and thats where the hp comes handy.

Button had to do an engine change, so he lost 10 spots.

Aborted start and it was Panis who stalled. This is race 12 and we all remember what happened in race 6 at Monaco when Panis stalled and Montoya took out MS. MS and Montoya start side by side and this ain't gonna be pretty.

MS wins again with Alonso in 3rd.
