I'll give you that. Everyone is "expecting" Hamilton & Button now, to Shine!!

but there are other variables to take into consideration..

What if McLaren, do the same as last year, totally mess things up and bye-bye.

What is Hamilton buckles under the pressure, the same goes for Button..

There are so many variables, on paper we all know who the most likely person is to win but, I know who I want to win but I am not putting my money on anyone, of course, Ill be following McLaren as I have done since the days of MH & DC.

Why do I reckon JB's sold his soul?

Also, the BBC are reporting that Rosberg seems to have signed a deal with Brawn / Mercedes as guaranteed, despite them not having confirmed anything yet.

Just going back over the news of the BrawnGP part buy-out. I have heard that BrawnGP are to be called the Silver Arrow Mercedes, but on the BBC site it says it's to be called Mercedes Grand Prix.
Anybody?

The team name can be different from the owning companies name. The full press release on the brawn site details it fully

I heard it was Mercedes GP.

Kymmy · 18-11-2009, 19:02

Silver Arrows is the original name for the cars and dates back 75 years.

In other news The company that ran the Donington bid has gone into administration

Ahhh so, the behind the scenes (the mechanical and testers and designers) guys are the Silver Arrow team and the big front (the one that brings the money in) is Mercedes GP.

Am I in the right ball park?

Not so sure that's quite within the rules. I am probably wrong, but isn't there something to do with the constructors, who must own the intellectual rights for the chassis and the entrants have to be same.

They won't do what they did last year for 2 reasons:

1. The current cars aero package can be mostly carried over and so no total redesign is needed
2. They started next years car earlier because they weren't busy trying to win a title this year.

From what I've read, it's common knowledge in F1 circles that Rosberg signed a deal with Mercedes before the takeover of Brawn and is likely to be announced as a driver soon.
