Lets not forget as Eddie Jordan said on the BBC, alot of credit should go to Honda and alot of the staff that were made redundant before Team Brawn emerged, as they did alot of the development with this car.
Credit where its due. nice to see Farrari behind (or not see them LOL) |

Yes, Honda had 700 people to design and build their new car - so did Ferrari, McLaren, etc. What does that prove?
Brawn may have fewer people, but then again they don't need a test team (mostly banned during the season) and they don't need an engine integration team (no engine changes of note now allowed) and they don't need a wind tunnel team owrking on natty little bits to screw on the bodywork (not allowed). And, on top of that, they are working into a set of Rules designed to reduce costs. Whatever the rights and wrongs, this situation has been happening on some level ever since Colin Chapman made the Ford/Cosworth DFV a stressed member of the chassis, and everyone else played catch-up until his untimely death because he was so good at reading the Rules and making things that met them - but better. There's nothing new under the sun... (except Jenson having a competitive car - go Button!! ) |

Unfortunately the new rules for next year aren't what Citroen/Scooby want either so they'll probably walk too! |

For all the repeated posturing from Renault about their diffuser design being illegal, how come they haven't shown anything to show what the FIA had rejected to prove they are right? Part of me wanted the rules to be 'clarified' (you can't ban a part that's currently legal) just to see what explanation the others come up with when Jenson puts it on pole again in China.

WRC is dying but the IRC looks like it's gonna step up to the mark and surpass it.

Looking at this mornings stories it looks like the Hamiltons are succeeding in kicking Ron Dennis out of his own team, the guy who paid for Hamilton to get to F1
I really think Mclaren are going to have to bite the bullet and kick Hamilton out at some point, no way should a driver and his dad have this much influence! |

The British newspapers are all reporting that Dennis will speak to the staff at McLaren headquarters in Woking today to inform them that his 40-year career in Formula One is over. The decision is meant to be a pre-emptive strike that will not only lessen McLaren's punishment but also ensure that the team holds onto Lewis Hamilton, as his father/manage Anthony is still debating whether to move his son to another team. The Daily Mail claims that 'his withdrawal will also meet with approval in the Hamilton household. Lewis's father and manager, Anthony, finds Dennis prickly and arrogant. They have not seen eye to eye for some time. 'It is understood that Hamilton Snr and Mosley have been in contact over the last few days, with both keen to see Dennis leave the sport. The Hamiltons have sided with Whitmarsh since the scandal broke prior to the Malaysian Grand Prix a fortnight ago. 'The fact that they have effectively won the battle means that Lewis is now unlikely to seek to leave.'. Kick the hamiltons out we dont need prima donna,s If they cant kick him out put him as third driver till his dad gets his head from out of his arse. It always annoys me when I see him lording it in the pits. Health and safety should ban all but mechanical staff from the race pit area. By the way did he get prosecuted for crashing a new porche into a playground a while back.

Sounds like a wild excuse for a paedophile to me.
The playground incident, not ron dennis |

Dave i think that is only natural though, if i had been slagged off by spanish press all year i wouldn't want to speak to them when there was people there who had supported you all year.
I do agree though his dad is a tit, im surprised he hasn't run up on to the podium and snatched the trophy out of lewis' hands yet and shouted "ITS MINE ALL MINE" |

I thought Ron Dennis announced a while back that he would be steeping down from McLaren's F1 activities to concentrate on the road side of the McLaren and that Martin Whitmarsh would be taking over...
I certainly remember reading about it long before the F1 season got going... |
