How is it even possible for a team which was struggling for survival just a few weeks ago to come towards the top of the grid? [surrender]

I hope they can do well this season.

Mercedes Engine [thumbup] Pretty bulletproof these days too - IIRC only one Mercedes engine failure last season and that was a 'traditional' oil seal blowing. (If anyone wants to look it up / get the correct info then it was Heikki and not Lewis)

Proabably because all the work on the new car was done when they were still getting money and support from Honda.

Yes, essentially the BrawnGP car is a Honda which had started it's design life last year ('08) but a Mercedes powerplant has been grafted onto the rear.

14 days till the season starts! [thumbup] Live Friday Practise on the BBC "Red Button" in 12!
