Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Brawn will be running a very light car to set some dazzling times and hopefully attract much needed sponsorship. Can't blame them for that. There is some debate about how light their car is. Briatore is apparently in a huff and refuses to believe that they're doing anything other than set false times but Gene has came out and said no matter how little fuel they have in their car Ferrari would be unable to match them with the same amount and both Sam Michael and Sebastian Vettel has already came out and said they'll walk over everyone else at Melbourne at this rate. Different people in the paddock seem to have different opinions. Button's big lap time that made everyone sit up and take notice was done on the third lap of a four lap run and similar quali-simulations from other teams didn't come close to knocking it off the board. It looks to me as if the fact they spent all of 2008 developing this seasons car is paying off big time. I'd imagine they didn't find out til very late in the day, development-wise, that they were were fitting a Mercedes engine in it. Which make the times in comparison the the Mercedes 'works' engined Mclarens even more amusing. I'd love it if Button could regularly beat Hamilton this season, but usually when there are big changes in the technical regulations the teams with the best R&D (ie the most money) come out on top, so I'm not holding my breath.

Craig 6997 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I made the observation today that if Hamilton was anything other than English, he'd be more hated but the English F1 fraternity and press than Schumacher was. Button does himself no favours either - "look at me, i'm not in it for the money cos i took a pay cut... I'm in it for the driving" Should do what Senna did then and offer to drive for nothing then!

Craig 6997 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 The new, less irritating James Allen is telling people to hoy their hard earned on a Brawn GP win in Melbourne http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/ The cock still talks shit even after the sack! It could happen but I'd not be putting any money on it. Wish I'd not only done this, but also stuck a tenner on Button winning the championship back them. Anyone know what their odds were?
