Please note the exquisite dresscode of the British multi-millioaire some posts back.
Wonder what denim that is anyway?

Now when there is very little doubt to anyone where the instant speed of Brawn and Williams is coming from, it is interesting to ponder Ross Brwn's winter-talk about what a fast car Honda would have had.

So Flavio is correct, what appeared to be sales-talk this was actually true, Brawn knew they had found a way to step-around the diffuser-rules and as FOTA's Technical representative he felt safe to do it.

Therefore I hereby cry foul-play and declare my balaclava-wager void!

If the diffusors were illegal, how hard would it be for FIA to declare them so and protect the interests of its beloved ferrari and mclaren? I dont understand why fia would be so nice to teams it doesnt usually favor (cue conspiracy theory of the moment).
I particularly think the diffusor is legal, and the other teams must be kicking themselves in the back for not having thought of them that way.
Anyway there's an appeal scheduled for april 14, so let's wait and see what happens.

F1Technical - Brawn GP announces partnership agreement with the Virgin Group

Brawn mentions that Virgin is their "second commercial agreement of the season". Which was their first? I don't recall anything, but I'm not counting the Mercedes engine supply deal though. Is that what he meant?

The first one was Henri Lloyd.

A tad outside here, but does anyone know what 58 year old Richard Branson uses to dye his hair to that color?

Pfff, no one is a Virgin in these pictures. Especially those girls, probably right at the other end of the scale (I hope)

Im gonna say something totally left-field here, but look at Rubhinos on-board camera when he set his P2 time in the last 2 mins of Quali 3. Look at his right thum hit a button and at the same time the engine revs leap in the audio, and about a second or two later his engine revs die again... Im gonna say theres a KERS system on that car, or both Brawn cars!!!
