Brawn GP Racing Team

Another fantastic result for the team with another Brawn GP 1-2 Jenson doing a sterling job once again to take another race win. Rubens again doing a fantastic job to keep the Ferrari's at bay and secure a great 2nd place. A comment by Nick fry that has just astounded me is that the Mercedes is Jensons car has just won its 3rd race, a feat that has not been achieved before.

Based on a fuel consumption of roughly 1.7 Kg's per lap, I have also adjusted the long runners as a 1.7kg per lap consumption won't work when carrying that much weight.

This all goes to show what a great lap that Jenson put in and how much more comfortable he is with the car with a little fuel on board. Once again a great job by Rubens on his fuel load.
