i think Max used Brawn as an example when talking budgets earlier this year 
"Their own team McLaren is a long way behind and costs Mercedes a huge sum of money. At the same time Norbert Haug sells his engines for 10 million Euros to Brawn: they're going to be world champions and make money as well," he remarked.
While I agree with the other points, this one is stretching it a bit. Yes, Brawn is going to make money and win the championship(s), but lets not forget the massive mountain of money that Honda put into that chassis in order to put Brawn where they are. The suggestion that you can low budget an F1 car and win championships is ridiculous to the extreme. Honda put all of last year into designing this car...that can not be brushed aside because Brawn didn't pay for it.
