Low expectations for IndianapolisRubens Barrichello is expecting his Honda to struggle again as Formula One moves from Montreal to Indianapolis.
"It will be tough for us until we return to testing and work on improving the performance of the car," the Brazilian said.
In truth, there will be no quick fix to the Brackley-based team's problems; a sentiment backed even by the usually optimistic Nick Fry.
The Honda team principal took a lot of media heat in Canada regarding the demotion of Technical Director Geoff Willis, and was even accused of using the 'flexi' saga involving BMW as a diversion.
Fry admitted that the endorsement of Shuhei Nakamoto, who is not in North America for the Canadian and US Grand Prix, is unlikely to be a magic wand.
"Nakamoto has a medium to long term approach," he said, echoing rival Ross Brawn's view that a key technical change takes three years to bear fruit.
