It has been suggested that Honda have given Sato a more powerful engine and that is why there has been drastically different levels of reliability for the two BAR-Honda cars. Perhaps these investigations will confirm this suggestion: whatever the result, I find it rather difficult to believe that the difference in reliability between Sato and Button is just luck or something completely unrelated to engine components

Well if thats the case its screwing Sato up, not helping him. They should put in the more reliable ones, whats the point of having a few extra bhp's if u can't finish a race.

i think that in Satos contract some were it says that BAR can put different engines in his car compared to Buttons. but Bar are doing this because there doing extra testing in racers, there looking toward next year.

BAR's unreliability in engines given (forced) into Sato's car has probably cost them 2nd place in the WCC and they might not want to change that at all.

That Unreliability rate is going to surpass Jacques' car from last year ,which I note was more than engine failures ....Sato is mostly Engine failures and alot of them :!:

I think this trend will continue as it did for Jacques car last year no matter how much mention of the alarming percentage it represents from Team Heads. (all part of the master plan?)

It has been suggested that Honda have given Sato a more powerful engine and that is why there has been drastically different levels of reliability for the two BAR-Honda cars.  

so who has been suggesting this? the conspiracy theorists i imagine.

it doesn't make sense that honda would try and give sato all the development parts, esp when they are failing as this is counterproductive. either way willis would be aware of any preferential treatment and thus no "investigation" would be necessary.

as for richards, he's a good 'manager' and restructuralist, but he doesn't know what he's talking about.. something we can no doubt all agree on. remeber the golfing swing analogy???

It would make perfect sense for Honda to give Sato more powerful engines than Button and I fail too see why you can
