This morning in Monaco there was plenty of activity around the ongoing discussions about the 2010 F1 rules and plenty of chat about what was going to happen next.
It seems to be becoming widely believed that Toyota will use this situation to make its exit from Formula 1. They were thinking about it towards the [...]

Vijay Mallya is bobbing in the harbour on his motor yacht, Flavio Briatore will have zoomed off in his private jet, like most of the drivers but the winner of today’s Grand Prix, was on the Easyjet flight to Luton with his team, Red Bull, Force India, me and a load of sunburned, happy fans.

Will Branson put real money into Brawn?

There seems to be a division of opinion about what is going on between Brawn GP and Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group.
There are stories that a deal has been done for this year and next, while there are strong suggestions coming out of the team that other parties are interested and Branson should pony up [...]
3 minutes with… Ross Brawn
Posted in BrawnGP, Uncategorized, tagged Brawn, F1 on April 18, 2009 | 8 Comments »
Ross Brawn’s team has been in the eye of the storm lately, what with the protests over the double diffuser and the criticisms of people like Flavio Briatore. Brawn is a thick skinned individual, but he will have felt the personal attacks of Ferrari’s lawyer in the appeal court hearing last week.
Of course he’s been [...]
Diffusers legal – but it got very personal
Posted in BrawnGP, Discussion, Ferrari, Rules, tagged Brawn, F1, Ferrari on April 15, 2009 | 114 Comments »
The International Appeal Court has ruled that the diffusers used by Brawn, Toyota and Williams are legal. So now we have clarity and we move on. But bad feelings remain. The hearing yesterday certainly got nasty, it seems, as it dragged out into yesterday evening.
The world title could be decided tomorrow..

It’s been a fairly quiet Easter as far as happenings in F1 are concerned. I guess Malaysia was such a momentous weekend, with the McLaren/stewards affair and the crazy race, it’s hardly surprising that the sport needed to take a breather.
But tomorrow (Tuesday 14th) things will get intense again as the international appeal [...]
Why Ross Brawn has a clear conscience

Interested to see that Ross Brawn has started responding to the criticism levelled at him by Flavio Briatore that he has misused his position as chair of the technical working group by not declaring his hand on the diffuser issue whenthe rules for 2009 were being discussed. Brawn raised the subject early last year, he [...]
A Brawn insider spills the beans
Posted in BrawnGP, F1 News, tagged Brawn, F1 on March 31, 2009 | 69 Comments »
Very interesting piece on the Guardian site today, quoting a Brawn team ‘insider’ talking about how much faster the car is capable of going than we saw on Sunday.
It’s interesting because Ross will not like this very much at all. He didn’t get where he is today by giving anything away and this gives a [...]
