Was it just me or this is the most "friendly" title contenders I've ever seen???

Ramos · 10-15-2009, 11:24 AM

None of them has tried to win the championship this year.. It's all been about who has wanted to lose it the least !!

Amazing to see all the equipment neatly packed in air cargo containers... I wonder if a B747 has enough cargo space to carry one team's equipment

Nice to see Brawn GP with an actual sponsor.

these Brazilian sponsors are just one time deal...(like CANON we saw in Singapore GP, Terminator Salvation promotion during Spainish GP)....the only longterm sponsors are Virgin Group, MIG FX, Graham London, Henri Lloyd, Ray-Ban, and plenty other Partners....

Oh I know. It's just a really big logo in a very obvious location as opposed to the Terminator one which was on the rear wing supports.

Virgin is not a longterm sponsor. They're moving to Campos F1 next season because Brawn is asking for too much money.

Its considered "long-term" as they stuck with BrawnGP for the entire 2009 season....

but with the result they produced this season....BrawnGP worth a lot more than we think....well....Sir Richard Branson always like to support the "underdogs"....just like when he started the Virgin Atlantic Airways....

True. I meant long term for the future. I really wish they had stayed with Brawn. I think a knighted British entrepreneur supporting the upstart constructor's champs and possible driver's champ would be nice to see. Not to mention like you said, an underdog who's now on top sponsoring an underdog team that's now on top. It's not like he doesn't have the dough. HE OWNS HIS OWN ISLAND!!!

The rules aren't changing drastically next season besides banning refueling, so we're not gonna see Campos, Manor, USF1 or Lotus as frontrunners. I think his money would have been better spent at Brawn, because everyone is going to have their eyes on them next season.

I guess the new team is more and willing to agree with some Sir Richard Branson's silly PR stunts....probably that's why...

If SRB cough up the dough...we might even see Ross Brawn wearing Kimi's guerilla suit!!!
