Its hard to imagine the world champion being stuck in a poor car the following season, but stranger things have happened. Renault seemed to have lost the plot after Alonso won the WDC in 06. I don't put too much stock in winter testing, the teams do all sorts of technical/mechanical/political things to play around with the lap times, but breaking a 08 pole time was impressive. Best of luck to Brawn/Honda/Mercedes, hope it goes better than ProstGP. The car body looks good.
