It was BAR's 100th grand prix on Sunday. Their partners Honda had put a huge effort in, and they had got some special development engines which they were using here.
The fear was that they might have stretched those engines too far and they might have broken down but no, not at all, they ran extremely well and they had a good strategy.
They weren't going to go out there charging at 110 per cent and taking massive risks. It was a great performance from both drivers for third and fourth.
They are now 16 points clear of Renault with one race to go - that means Renault have got to win and get a third place to have any chance of grabbing or snatching that place back from BAR.
Let me remind you that this time last year BAR came to Japan with just 18 points, and they got a fourth and a fifth place. That was almost the start of their renaissance.
Tony Jardine was talking to Andy Schooler.
