Hmm, Button fastest in the morning test?! That is very promising - although you have to take into account fuel loads etc.
Still, better than being plumb last, eh?!
Brawn GP still awaiting FIA approval
Monday 9th March 2009
Brawn GP are reportedly still waiting for the FIA to approve their use of Mercedes engines in this year's Championship.
Under F1 regulations a car manufacturer may only supply engines to two teams, needing the approval of the FIA should they wish to supply a third. And with McLaren and Force India already using Mercedes engines, new team boss Ross Brawn has had to ask the FIA to okay his team using the same power units.
But according to Mercedes boss Norbert Haug, Brawn GP, who are testing with Merc engines at Barcelona this week, are still waiting for a response.
"Brawn is waiting for the approval of the engine deal from FIA, and hopefully will get it," he told Auto Motor und Sport.
"We believe that the continued existence of the team is very important; especially during the current economic climate. It is important to make sure that Formula One should not only have eighteen cars lining up on the grid."
Let's hope the FIA post approval sooner rather than later.Source: planetf1.comBrawn GP still awaiting FIA approval

They could of just de-balasted and lighted up the car to do it ofcourse but i don't think brawn would be assed about doing a glory lap.
To be fair the car (esspecialy the front wing) looks very developed.
so looking for them.
is that a new F1 rule about providing 2 teams?

I assume so, it's the first I've heard of it.
Doesn't really make a whole lot of sense if it is, what with the whole "supply cheap engines to the smaller teams" thing.

And it doesn't make since as Ferrari were running three teams at one point.. Their own, Spyker/Force India, and Torro Rosso. If the FIA ruled against it, it would be splitting hairs if you asked me..
