I love Brawn's comment at the end of the article: (paraphrased) "I told the other teams back when we were making the rules and they weren't interested. Now they are."

Go Ross, go Jensen.

Read this one specifically: (Ferarri is bitching like a 12 year old girl "You just don't understand!! OMG" Its very funny. Its almost as if F people are saying "you don't understand the point! - FIA stands for Ferarri international assistance! OMG."

Say I am a driver making 10 million a year, without a diffuser. My first instinct is to take out my checkbook and get some people paid to do it NOW if there is such an issue with "budget". Overtime, extra testing, new people, etc.

You do know that the testing is limited?

Even though they say so, this is not about money, but that comment is of course directed to Max since he is pushing with all the money saving changed, it's about time. Developing their cars to work with this double diffuser will take very long until they work properly and by then Brawn might be too far ahead (in points).

I understand the testing is limited on a few angles. My point was, if its truly an internal money issue, I would gladly pay to be back at the front. Yes, the mighty midget max is bitching about reducing costs, but thats not his actual plan - it couldn't be with looking at his actions/decisions. KERS, Drastic 09 changes. Even the transmission life rule INCREASES the cost, as you need to spend cubic dollars on life testing.

Wayne is surprised if he can see his toes when he looks down in the shower.
