Fillipe Massa and Robert Kubica have both said that BrawnGP are a serious threat! That's some very good going from the BrawnGP team. I just hope they aren't hampered by any technical or engine issues. |
Well lets have some perspective here, Honda were designing this car for 2 years and spent masses amounts of money developing it. Brawn basically inherited a car which has had loads of development then strapped in an engine which puts out up to 60hp more than the Honda lump. The car was designed more towards having a less powerful engine and being able to make up time in the corners. Sure they did a great job getting to the test but lets not forget who pumped in all the money to design the car, it certainly wasn't a customer team with a small budget.
Saying that i do hope they can keep up with the big boys when it comes to development during the season, and i hope Rubens and Jenson can do the team justice and prove the car can be so quick during an entire race weekend, not just qually laps.
