I agree...very happy with Brawn racers at the top. Way to go Rubens! I am unhappy with Lewis and Massa but we will see if these guys and cars can pass in the race.

I like the looks of the new cars too.

I wonder what Honda thinks about Brawn? Hey thats our car and not our engine!

I wonder what Mercedes thinks about Brawn? Hey thats our engine and our factory team can't do this good!

I also have to give it up to Brawn. They really out-performed the others, which hopefully allows for tons of competition during the season. They definitely put in the work and it shows....

I'm also happy for the Brawn team - Not sure why Hammy didn't even run in the second round - I hope this doesn't have anything to do with the fact WINS count for the championship and maybe you concentrate more on the tracks you have the best shot at and go thru the motions on the ones you know you have the 15th place pace!!!

Didn't they announce that they're going back to the old points system for this year?

They had to change his transmission.
"WINS" point system was ditched, it's the old points system that they are using, you need to pay attention little more...

It's called Brawn GP. Maybe in few weeks the team name will change to something else (Virgin Brawn Racing or something) but at the moment it's Brawn.

Yes, the point system is the same as last season.

I love this so far. Total chaos. Great stuff. But what was with Peter Winsor lamenting the rule changes? It is good to shake things up once in a while. Besides dry groved tires on race cars looked stupid.

KERS hasn't seemed to be much of a factor, at least in one lap speed. Interesting.

Way to go Rubino !
I think that both Barrichello and Button know that they have to perform or the team is out so they put in maximum effort. That along with clearly superior engineering helped them post 1, 2 .

Didn't realize they changed back - I think that's for the best - Finn - a little sarcastic in your reply - switch to decaf
