Oh and also glad that Button,the F1 hottie is staying. Budgets, sponsors, redundancies, world financial climates, 'Oh no! we can only afford shiny bog paper'.... whatever, with a tiny bit of intervention from Lady Luck this team will stick in your mind for years to come - as a great source of enjoyment and seeing success rise from 'the ashes' (did we take them back from Oz yet?). Without the 'lucky' bit, it'll be a very respectable effort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jez 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2009 I don't want to p1ss on any fires here, least of all Brawn GP's (God knows they have been through it and I for one, wish them the very best), but on what foundation, other than hope, are some of us suggesting that the Brawn's will be anything other than near the back?The reason I ask is because although Ross Brawn's reputation needs no introduction, he cannot single handedly elevate Honda from where they were to a beautiful place. Not only that but with his eye being taken off the ball over the winter and the car's package being compromised by a change of engine, surely they cannot be anything other than also rans. Ferrari and McLaren have been able to focus with their heads down, as the top two teams, with momentum and the best sets of resources and stable technical staff. I would laugh my head off if BrawnGP punch above their weight, it would be brilliant. But for the reasons I have stated, I just can't see it. I Agree If you are right, F1 will rise like a phoenix form the ashes of mediocrity and the smoke of disgusting overspend. I agree completely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jez 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2009 After announcing in December that they would no longer be participating in the Formula One world championship, Honda took three months to finalize a new deal with Ross Brawn to take over the beleaguered team and have now bit farewell to the pinnacle of Motorsports and all the fans that have followed their team through the years.

FormulaSP 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2009 Looks like their front wing is adjustable. Very interesting considering most teams look like they have "standard" front wings. Looks very different from the wing Honda was testing last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Insider 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2009 Er is it me or are they testing on grooved tyres??? Why....???? I can only think that, as the team announced their intention to race so late in the day, Bridgestone may not have not delivered slicks to them yet. Nothing else make sense, as the balance of the car would be comprehensively different. Are these 09 rain tyres, perhaps? Either way, it wasn't a test - they just wanted to see if all the bits worked.

Do you think their Kers would work well the Merc engines? Sorry if this question has been raised and answered earlier, don't mind. I'm no engineer but I'll give you an opinion. Apart from any weight or size anomolies, it's where you locate KERS that I imagine would have been a main consideration. It would certainly effect ballast placement, fuel tank location etc. Obviously, overall car balance may have had to be re-configured too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Insider 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2009 Jens just eight tenths off today's best time from Heidfeld. Good start. Everyone will say they were running on fumes in an effort to attract a sponsor. So what? Ross has got to do what Ross has got to do, right? Whatever it takes. I think it has more to do with JB losing a few more kilos, [God knows where from!] and another 80+ hp from the Merc lump. There's a long way to go but I'm encouraged.
