Wow, Good on him for a start, got signed up to run it then Honda ditch them soon after, must have been well annoying.
Shows though how loaded he must be, yeah he probably has had lots of support also but if branson did not buy it he still must have put in a lot of his own money.

Well theyve been in the top five at every practise session, and came first in both the final two practises Theyve been completing full race distances with no problems and had a fastest lap a full second ahead of the nearest rival in both the final sessions.


This car looks bloody good.......... FINALLY!!!

Im really not suprised tbh.  Ive had 2 major predictions in my head for some months now.

I expected one of the top teams, be it ferrari or mclaren to really get it wrong this year, and misterpreted the rules in their design.  I also expect one of the midfield pack to really break through this year, my eye is on Vettel, as much as I normally of stunning cars being fast as well which the RB5 is looking.

Brawn GP does not suprise me in the least, the Honda team were working on the 2009 car last year in mid season, they if anyone should have a better understanding of KERS.  McLaren have literally decided to develop the new car, after the season was done and focus on 2008.

Id also keep an eye on Alonso as ugly as the Renault is.

Planet F1 are campagining for the grid start to be show from overhead so you can see who ploughs into who!


Totally agree about Jensen - think he wil be a real contender this year. There was an interview with Martin Brundle last year where he said a lot of people think poorly of Jensen at home because of results but he said inside F1 hes considered to be one of the best drivers on the grid, especially for developing the car.

McLaren are scaring me but I have a sneaky feeling from what theyve said in the last 24 hours that theyll pull it off. They are cutting it bloody fine though!

McLaren Have the best engine for this season, you wont find any arguing that and it will probably be the most reliable too. Ferrari have cut some speed to get the reliability they are lacking. Let us hope that McLarens problems are just the fine elements of the chassis and not at its core.

Yep, Jenson is a smooth driver, when he can compete he just carves through with ease. Hamilton is amazing but he is a bit like shuey - muscling his way through. Jenson glides around the track and his smooth style will be an even greater asset this season, same to with Vetell who has a similar style. How would you act and be if you have been let down by your team time and time again but having to try and keep the faith all the time? Jenson is of course going to have his head drop. I have felt sorry for him for a while.

ARGH! Why am I up!!!


Virgin logo already on the cars - looks good!!

Shake and bake!! Thatll do quite nicely!


Shame about Hamilton - McLaren should be ashamed. Lets hope they fix that piece of junk ASAP and get back on top.
