Ilmor's a bit of the pace :(

Andrew Pitt testing for Ilmor is interesting............ They must like Australians or something.

And McCoy qualified with a 1:34.8 on race weekend, so I'd say the new riders are taking it a bit easy at the moment.

I was just marvelling at that myself this morning ... they've all approached the philosophy differently and ended up all over each other!

I was wondering if that's more or less down to tyres?
