It'd take more than 2 1-2s for them to pull that off. Consider the optimal:
Assume none of the top 4 score here at Valencia (Unlikely, Brawns will probably pick up more points, but anyway) .
The gap to Webber is 18.5. Assuming Webber leads Vettel home both times, he would gain 20 . As long as Jenson scores 2 points, he remains ahead. He is likely to score more than 2 points over those 2 GPs, even if it is cooler. And then there is the rest of the season for the Brawns to take wins (Warmer circuits like Abu Dhabi and (Potentially) Brazil will help the Brawns and Jenson is something of a Suzuka Specialist).
The Constructor's would be somewhat easier to take the lead of with 2 1-2s, but Brawn could snatch it back with the circuits later that suit them.
The Frome Flyer: Smoother, Smarter, Calmer, Winner.
Jenson Button: Professor, Chauffeur, World Champion Racing Driver.
This can go 2 ways for Red Bull if they use it.
1. Screw their championship hopes in one weekend
2. Blitz the field and go 1-2 for the next couple GP's and win the World Championship (which i hope happens)
