El Shish, I picked Brawn after I saw them at the Barcelona test! I’ll take a look at that. Thanks for the suggestion.

Vettel’s retirements have all been collision related. The Red Bull has had reliability issues in practice but not in the races.

To let you know: the “Massa injury fuels speculation Schumacher could return” just came through in Bloglines – the first post to make it in well over a week! Hopefully this means the RSS that feeds Bloglines is now working. Thanks!

Well whether or not they took a wrong turn in development, it’s clear that Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari have greater resources and as such the gap in performance between them and Brawn is just about closed.

A couple of things;

Firstly, does anyone else find it highly amusing that some bookies have already paid out to punters who bet on Jenson winning the WDC?

Secondly, why have Brawn escaped punishment for a spring detaching from their car and nearly killing someone while Renault have been banned for one race after a wheel detached? Is it because the wheel detachment was avoidable? (Ie. Alonso should have pulled over?).

Ah indeed. I thought there were only 3 weeks in between.

The second the car is not to Jenson’s liking and he chokes.

For shame

I think Brawn have run out of Honda money and development or lack of it is proof. Soon or later the natural pecking order will be back in F1. This was a very odd year and early on everyone was calling Ross a genious. As great as he is, he is only 1 man it takes a team of hundreds as well as funds in the hundreds of millions to be and stay successful. I doubt his will be the end for Brawn this year… but it won’t be a cake walk that everyone predicted at the start of the season. In 2010, I bet Brawn are once again back markers or middle of the pack at best.
