He can't beat anyone of them, the STR isn't faster than the Renault, and it's definitley not faster than the Ferrari. Might be ble to pass some BMW's maybe.

Wait, so you think Grosjean and Badoer can beat Alguesuari, but Heidfeld and Kubica can't? Do I miss something here, or does experience count for nothing? The Renault isn't that far ahead of the STR, neither is the rest of the field really, just over a second covers the field - and the Renault is distinctly in the lower-midfield of it.

Did the Red bull upgrades make it to the STR last race?

If so - they didn't appear to make much difference?

Yes they did upgrade the STR, with the RBR Silverstone upgrade (and everything prior to that race). Problem is, other teams also made upgrades since that race and continue to do so, so all upgrades any team makes are a lot more diminished in comparison to other team's performance.
This is why STR is so far behind this year - without a decent ability to develop their own chassis, they are being left behind every race by practically every other team. Even Force India have been quite impressive in their "rate of development" (that would be the current catch-phrase that sums up current F1 competition).

STR make an upgrade worth 0.5s (apparently) in one race but all the other teams have been making improvements every race worth 0.1 or 0.2 or even massive jumps like McLaren's.
 
I was joking there about the BMW part, and the Renault and Ferrari are definitely faster than the STR. They can make it into Q3, the STR has not so far.

I didn't catch the Hungary GP - hence the question...

Yes, they are faster, but not by very much, and I don't think we saw Piquet in Q3 very often - so what makes you think Grosjean will be any better?
Qualifying is so close these days that I think Jaime can very possibly out qualify both Badoer and Grosjean.

Hence my answer... :p
 
The video is like the low-tech version of The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights" music video. :lol:
