So what does Ross Brawn look like now?

Lol @ Honda's new uniform..they literally went 'green'. I laughed for 5min just looking at them. Hope those color shorts and trousers don't stick all season.

It was GREAT watching F1 again after the off-season. It is awesome without the driver aides. Seems to be really tight behind Ferrari and Maca, so that coupled with lack of tc should make for some great racing (passing).

I'm really looking forward to McLaren this year, and also how Lewis and Heiki will match up against each other.

Take a good look Josh, new and improved Ross :


Oh, and DirecTv rocks. Go HD Speed channel!

...while his driving skills may be right up there,
with that look, he's not my pick for the fox hole.

My guess is, weenies in the "mkting" dept.

Without TC, the teams have made radical aerodynamics changes.

Qualifying is on tonight at 11pm est. on speed channel.

engine braking is also removed and they are using a common ecu.

great to see them stepping the rear out on the corners and that was just in practice. the real drivers with the most skill will rise to the top with qualifying tonight.

next year stricter regulations on aerodynamics and the amount of down-force will make these cars feel like the drivers are driving a spinning tasmanian devil.

Yea, but they're most likely going back to slicks next year. Won't entirely account for the 50% df reduction, but it's still a big difference between the current tires and 09.

So BMW really was sandbaggin it through the off-season. Kunica could've had pole on the last run. BMW and Toyota are the surprise of the year. Good for Bimmer, don't care where they place as long as McLaren is in front of them.

Ferrari sucked monkey balls. Sucks for kimi with the retirement. Massa has no skill anyway, so his career is going to suck going forward.

And LOL @ Alfonslow being sandwiched by the Honda's.
