Overheard in the F1 paddock

Word in the F1 paddock is that Honda is now squeezing 930 hp out of its latest V10 and in Imola their new seamless gearshift was worth 0.4 seconds per lap, as a driver shifts seven times from 6th to 7th gear. McLaren runs a similar system while Williams, Ferrari and Renault are said to not be ready with their version until next year. Renault might get theirs out sooner, having recently hired one of the BAR engineers involved in the construction of this gearbox.
