Which is not good for overtaking :( I have a feeling that the field will be spaced out to almost 5-10 seconds between the fastest and slowest car.

BMW has been doing the most development work on the 2009 specifications of any of the teams, and they were the first team with a (nearly) full 2009 spec car ready to test. They've got to be ahead of the field on this. It also looks to me like McLaren has gotten a big step on development of the 2009 spec car. Their car seems to have the most advanced and well-researched features. (i.e. The front wing flaps, which indicate a significant amount of effort put into them.)
