Melbourne Australia Formula 1 Brawn Button & Barichello
Melbourne Australia Formula 1 Brawn Button & Barichello
Yes the 3 B´s against all odds pulled it off in Australia this afternoon.
Brawn GP (previously Honda) during the winter thought at any time that they would have to join the Credit crisis and shut their doors. I believe that Ross Brawn purchased the company for one pound sterling (($1.40).
Niko Rosberg has set the fastest practice this morning making it 3 fastest practices in a row. This afternoon it was Jenson Button and Rubens Barichello (remember him being ordered by Ferrari in an Austrian GP to pull over and let Michael Schumacher win?) fighting
it out until the last minute as to who would take the honours for pole. In the end it was the Brit from the Brazilian. It was only several days ago that Rubens knew that he had a drive for 2009
Richard Branson climbed on board the new team as a Sponsor with his VIRGIN brand name for Brawn GP

A date has been set for the FIA International Court of Appeal hearing over the diffusers on the Brawn GP, Toyota and Williams cars. It will take place in Paris on April 14 in the week prior to round three of the championship, the Chinese Grand Prix.
Stewards passed the cars of all three teams in Melbourne on Thursday, prompting protests from rivals, who believe their diffusers may be illegal. Those protests were rejected, a decision that was subsequently appealed by Ferrari, Red Bull Racing and Renault.
This means that these 3 teams could loose any points scored this weekend and the next GP if Ferrari, Red Bull and Renault are successful with their appealWhat is your opinion? Why not leave a comment about it?
