Leave Button and Brawn to prove themselvesFormula One by BrawnGP (U13900573) 04 April 2009  F1 has always been a competition fought alone the lines of "technological warfare", each team has to make a unique car made under a set of stringent rules. The performance difference is in the region of 1.5 seconds in a typical lap of 75-90 seconds i.e. less than 1.2%. The competition of the F1 grid is considerably closer than other race series in which the competitors use identical cars. Latest comments

As it stands to me, in terms of funding & performance Toyota are at last starting to look very strong & RBR are a lot handier than I was expecting. I really reckon the 'old guard' will start to regain position, certainly in the 2nd half of the season. Ferrari will win this year I think.

TCSC47 (U13906904) posted Apr 7, 2009 Hmm - British team and engineers. Good old British manufacturers like Honda and Mercedes then! And where has Braun spent the last few years honing his skills to such success - that good old British place, Italy!
