anthony davidson has been no1 for the first to practice sessios in the u.s is that because he is a good driver or because honda dont mind if his engine blows up so turn the revs and everything right up because I like to lick cows udders and the other two hondas are nowere near him

Its both. He's a top test driver but also Honda can go all-out on his car cause it doesnt matter if it blows up!
Youll see most weekends that its the 'friday test drivers' who dominate the time sheets in those particular sessions.

The other 2 Hondas have to conserve their cars, the engine inparticular.
They try varied setups, and race stratagies, so may of ran heavy on fuel for some laps to simulate the qually.. and then light to put in a good time.

I would'nt say the other Hondas are nowhere near him though. (Well, apart from the Super Aguris of course!) As far as race drivers go, Button is looking good so far, he's been fast in both sessions... Ahead of Alonso infact.
