Unlikely. The team's current colours categorically do not represent their sponsors.

But the sponsors could change their colors in order to fit where it would be printed.
I'll give one exemple:
There's a soccer team, Grêmio, wich colors are : Blue, white and black.
It's main rival, Internacional, has white and red as t-shirt colors.
So when Coca-cola was Grêmio's sponsor, they had to change their colors because white and red would "remind" Internacional.

The result :

I don't see the point in using that for Brawn GP, their current colour scheme isn't exactly legacy and I think they'd rather have a deal done than try and dictate colours.

What I meant is that colors don't really matter...they can change or the team can print the usual sponsor colors, as you said...

What really matters is that Pepsi could be a new sponsor, and the BGP times were really good today:

BGP got - again - the fastest lap...they entered in 18's second "home"...and made almost a full second on the second place.

Button always seems to have been in the wrong place at the wrong time in F1. Hopefully this can be a turn in his fortunes.

Yeah, I think Alonso said something along those lines and that Renault would be struggling to keep up too. Still, can't wait for the season to start to see what really happens.

[Bruno_Brazil]

Alonso said that the order is :

1º Brawn
2º BMW
3º Ferrari
4º Toyota
5º Renault
6º Red Bull
7º McLaren
8º Williams
9º Toro Rosso
10º Force India

it's in spanish..but the part he says the order of the teams is understandable

[Bruno_Brazil]

but the few I understood...i got that he said tha it's very hard make prognostic and everything can change quickly !

[Bruno_Brazil]

I'll try to translate what I can...

he said he's very anxious and curious about this season...

he said he is more otimist than last year ( he called it as a disaster)

from 0 to 10

happines : 10
possibility of being champion : 7
possibility of wining in Melbourne : 5
motivation : 10
physical conditions : he said he's good, but he said that he have to lose weight
something I didn't undertand : 5
patience : 8

Massa says that Ferrari is where it expected to be, but that BrawnGP's pace is unreachable.

So, maybe Button is in the right place.

I'd guess that Ferrari would not be fooled by pre-season testing tricks, so I would presume that the pace is genuine.

Also: Alonso says that Brawn GP pace is real: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/73678

2 questions:

1) Does anyone have any information about the reliability of the BrawnGP car?
2) I currently have Rosberg in my office dream team, but looking at these results, I'm tempted to replace him with Barrichello. Do you think this is a wise move?
