If you've got the kit already, why buy more?scotty wrote:I dont know why they dont use a McLaren box like Force India do? i know Lewis had issues last round but i think that was just a one off!EwmanM wrote:Latest - RUBENS needed to change his gearbox. 5 place pen.Hmm, i'm sure i heard pre-season that if there was any weakness on the Brawn car, it would most likely be the gearbox.

bud wrote:Hmm, hard to say, it's definitely either that or maybe their car's performance is helped so much by not having it they just won't bother with it... or possibly they are just concentrating developing an amazing system for next year, although surely they'd use it in races to help develop it.scotty wrote:thats what i was thinking, i remember them saying they had a good KERS system. but then again they may not have the budget to develop it any further now?bud wrote:What Denthul said, plus they probably feel that they know the Honda developed one inside out and so can work more effectively with it.

EDIT: say, does anyone know if they are repeating the qualifying on BBC? I have to work tomorrow.
