Ross Brawn sure made a series of good business moves, aside from being a great engineer. Now thats smart —

He could run the U.S. Treasury

It’s generally Mercedes taking over from Honda. Brawn just kept the Honda developed car and the team for a year.

If you are stuck for articles during the off season how about histories of the main teams, such as Ferrari, McLaren and Williams, with photos of each car and driver, assuming you can source the pictures of course.

Now Mclaren gets No 1 and 2 on their car, what abt the incentive from FIA. Will the highest amount would be given to BRAWN(Merc) or Mclaren ? And roughly , how much is the amount for winning the constructor’s title ?

Hope the car manufacture in the future get their acts together & return in F1.

Matra-Ford-Tyrell is the only team I can think off the top of my head that were even nearly as successful, but do they count as they were a privately-entered customer car?

I am fascinated by the return of Mercedes to having a full team. Hopefully the car will look great, maybe silver with white racing stripes, and very shiny silver or chromed wheels. Anything except black wheels, which I find a very old look.
The Photoshop image that Mercedes showed when the Brawn purchase was announced did not look very exciting, it was too much of a tone-on-tone look

Keith, maybe a feature, with good photos, of the old 50s Mercedes teams would be interesting for all. The old manager was called Neuebauer, and he was quite a character.They used to race in far away places like Tripoli if I remember correctly ( hopefully Bernie wont read this )

Cheers
