I think after Newey left McLaren they never made a good car by themselves. 07 and 08 had ideas copied from Ferrari especially the weight distribution etc about the Bridgestone tires. Now that they have to design a new car they are back into trouble like 06. We need to wait and watch till Melbourne. Of course Brawn is a master like Newey. If he has worked on a design for one year I am pretty sure it will deliver and show the Results. He has 8 Constructors title to his credit. 1994 to 2004 should be looked upon as Brawn vs Newey era as much as it is a Schuey era.The only thing we all missed was though Schuey driving a Newey’s Mclaren Mercedes.

Errr, excuse me, but if both Brawn and Force India have improved their timings with a new Mercedes engine, doesn’t that say soemthing about their performances last year using Honda and Ferrari power?
Or are we saying that the technicians at Brawn and Force India are that much better than the guys at McLaren? Not that I’m saying McLaren never have off days, or years, but they always have a little something else to offer.
Either that or maybe some teams have been interpreting the rules differently to others?

i dont understand why brawn gp is so fast, while mclaren and force india are at the back or midfield.

is brawn like adrian huey? he did it with schumi at ferrari. maybe honda pulling out was abad move for honda, they didn’t know they had a good chasis. maybe the hona engine was bad

is this ROn’s departure= goodbye mclaren championship future?

i hope if they are already making F1 2009, the game should have brawn GP as a fast car. Otherwise I wouldn’t bother buying if it’s as slow as a super aguri.

I don’t think you should write off McLaren, even for this year

Yay, more Top Gear posturing for Lewis Hamilton, despite Clarkson’s supposed hate for Grand Prix drivers like him.

If BruanGP turn out to be this fast, the one of the biggest losers will be ForceIndia.
