Brawn Grand Prix

[superbenji88]

Happy to see they are staying in F1 for now.

Gutted that Senna didnt get the drive though

 

[Fred@BTM]

who's driving?

 

[doddy]

Barrichello in for another year then?

 

[Alex H]

Yup, Jenson and Rubens.

 

[Jay Payne]

As much as id of liked to see Bruno driving the team/Ross Brawn has made a very sensible decision keeping Rubens. Very little testing means they need experiance in the cockpit.

The car looks good and I hope they have done a good job on it. The nose looks very F2004 Ferrari.

Loving the colour scheme too

 

[Jay Payne]

Much better then the planet earth livery

 

[Christopher]

Fantastic news IMO

Car looks ace.

 

[GarethM]

tis good news

cant wait for the new season

 

[Englebert]

Back of the grid...

 

[seb]

i'm with englebert, they'll crash and burn this season, even more than last year.

 

[Fred@BTM]

although they've got merc engines

i had to laugh at this on the F1 site

"The team have also confirmed that their race driver line-up for the 2009 season will combine the talents of two of Formula One's most experienced drivers in Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello. The race-winning drivers continue their partnership at the team for a fourth consecutive year, forming the most experienced driver partnership on the grid with 423 Grand Prix starts between them."


most experienced at being at the back?

yeah and how many wins between them?

And the name gets worse day by day, Brawn seriously needs to get his head out of his ass and give the team a name that doesn't sound like a razor.

 

[Fred@BTM]

Tesco Value Racing?

 

[sn00p]

Tesco Value Racing?

Pmsl, I'd love to see a plain white car on the grid with the value blue stripes!

Time to find tesco's marketing directors email address....

 

[Fred@BTM]

white car blue gaffa tape, done!

 

[Ian_182]

Lets see if jenson can show some skills this eason.

They would need to find that "Tesco Value Ullage" pump sticker too!

 

[Vish]

I'm hoping all the time they spent on it last season will pay off and they can at least fight for top 10, seems a bit of a reach after the winter will they/wont they survive agro.

Be nice to finally see Button do well and hopefully get a drive in a better team before he leaves F1 as one of the biggest "should have beens".

Hope they get some bloody sponsors on the car this year too so they stay around.

 

[Dave Hester]

would love it if jenson got a drive at mclaren next to lewis one day.

all British team FTW

 

[sparky85]

never gonna happen, jenson is over the hill now, think vettel will be at mclaren next season

[Marky_]

^They have plenty of cash as well. Come on tesco, get on it!

 

[sn00p]

pmsl. That actually works

 

[Jay Payne]

So what do we think so far?

They have been very impressive in testing this week being either fastest or somewhee in the top 4. Obviously they would want to get some good times in to attract sponsors but teh car has been fairly reliable.

Maybe the late arrival gave more development time? Or is it all low fuel glory run times?

 

[Day]

I predict mid grid.

at least one car in the points at the first couple of races providing their own gearbox holds out attached to the Mercedes lump.

 

[Marky_]

I reckon most are sandbagging.
