BRAWN GP F1 RACING TEAM

Max'd Out - FOTA sign for 2010 The 8 teams still unified in FOTA have signed for the 2010 season without the budgetary caps being put in place. The teams have agreed to cut costs but on a sliding scale and not the proposed 40 million cap. They will look to resign the Concorde agreement and be more involved in the governance of the sport. This has all happened with the proviso that Max Moseley does not stand for re election. Great news for the fans of F1 as a breakaway series was really the last thing the sport needed.Read more...      Be the first to rate this [?] You might like:Brawn GP Being patient over sponsors (@this site)Brawn GP - Mercedes - The Customer is King (@this site) 2 more recommended posts »0 comments

Labels: brawn gp , fota , ross brawn Monday, 22 June 2009 Brawn GP - Silverstone Well as previously mentioned over the weekend I was at the race for my fourth consecutive Silverstone. Obviously with Jenson down in 6th on the grid and Silverstone being a notoriously difficult place to overtake I realised that getting a better result may prove difficult even for someone showing the form Jenson has. I had already secured an 8/1 bet for Rubens to win at the start of the week, I find myself week in week out at the moment hoping Rubens does well. I've always found that Rubens has much more talent than his luck brings him and was jumping up and down last year for him in Club Silverstone as he made his way upto third. The Red Bulls pace was staggering and the moment Vettel left the grid and started pulling away I knew he had it in the bag which left me dissapointed for Rubens. Further from that I realised that no matter how good Ross's strategy would be trying to keep Webber at bay would still prove extremely difficult. Rubens more aggressive driving style seemed to keep a little more warmth in the tyres whilst Jenson struggled. Towards the end of Jensons middle stint we saw him weaving down the start finish straight in an attempt to get some more temperature into the tyres, this was also having a detrimental effect on the suspension settings with Jenson finding the car bottomining out. A combination of Jensons consistent driving and strategy calls got Jenson back up the grid from 9th to 6th.Still in my opinion another great result for Brawn GP on a circuit that doesn't necessarily suit the setup of the BGP001 which was compounded by the cool conditions of the weekend.
