The car lacked downforce last year, which put them at the back at most races except for Spa and Monza. I don't see much difference in this car, although its true, my knowledge of the VJM02 is fairly limited. My first impression was that with their drivers and this cautiously modified car, they seem limited by money and should not pose a threat. I hope I don't have to eat these words later in the year!
(I love where that Sato ad has found itself in that top pic- It looks like he is a tiny budding driver for them this year.)
