Brawn GP
Interim livery, great looking car.

It'll be on one or the other, probably 2 I guess. They're making a big deal of this, it's not going on the shitty freeview channels.Will the BBC have their basic F1 coverage on BBC1 or BBC2?
Those are the only BBC channels I can receive here in Belgium and I would love to watch the races on the BBC!
I never pay any attention to pre season testing times. All manner of reasons why pace may be quicker or slower than is actually the case. That said, really is impressive from Brawn GP. I guess it's not really a new team as such, and the car will have been developed by Honda, who did have a few bob to throw at it
You will get the best odds about now if they do go on and be the team to beat. Do it before the Jerez test next week where they may confirm their pace.Is it worth having a punt on Button / Barrichello winning the drivers championship?
Or Brawn GP to win the constructors?
Based on rumours and hope of other teams and fans. James Allen who has an excellent blog site also reckons the pace is real http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/Brawn GP only trying too be attractive for potential sponsors by riding with low fuel in tests and having the car more lighter than the rules allow.
Precisely, it's a stunningly daft system, your extreme example highlights precisely whyI really don't like this I do agree there should be a better reward for winning races but not this. So if you win 2 race's end up with about 20 points at the end of the season will win the title over some who finished 2nd in all of the all 17 races with 136 pints.
yeah id agree with that...Drive off into the distance races were bad enough before. At least there might be some good racing behind it, as people seek to limit the damage. Now there's not really any point to it
We'll keep this for a season or two, the powers will be will realise its a garbage system, then it'll be on to a new one
Agreed.New system is stupid. Points rewards consistancy and thats what should win titles.
Ross Brawn is long in the tooth to know that a few quick times in testing will make the advertisers come on board that bit quicker. Jordan, Williams, McLaren and even Simtek did it.If the Brawn is genuinely the fastest car on the grid, why have Honda bailed now? I mean their money woes must be horrific, spending all that time in F1 struggling only to leave when they're top dog! Honda have developed that car, so they must have known where it stood
Let me get this straight if Hamilton finishes with 93 points and 2 grand prix wins and if Alonso finishes with 90 points and 5 wins who wins the championship??
Alonso... pure feckeryThe driver with the most wins at the end of the season will be the winner of Formula One World Championship. In case there is a tie in the number of races won by two or more drivers, the existing points system will be used to decide the winner of the championship. The points will also be in place for deciding the rest of the drivers' standings, and the Constructors' Championship will not be affected
Could mean that the WDC could be decided in July as well. Wow did not even put much thought into this until now. Cann't believe Bernie has brought these changes in.It means going into the last race of the season, it could be four or five guys going for the title with all of them on 2 or 3 wins... then none of them win and it goes to points... useless by F1
As if the sport needed any less appeal going into the last races... these last few seasons Post-Schoomie have been quality... It makes it damn near impossible for any sort of drama unless the standings in terms of wins are dead even.Could mean that the WDC could be decided in July as well. Wow did not even put much thought into this until now. Cann't believe Bernie has brought these changes in.
I'll wait and see what happens. F1 is always been tinkered with. Bring me back to the late 80's where qualifying was interesting.
