Ross Brawn doesn't use windtunnels to test aero efficiency. He simply plugs the holes with Bananas.

Mind you I heard Pat Fry tell us (in the phone-in) that they were introducing a number of new pieces for Singapore and beyond. So we'll see.
No change there then, still spending their way out of trouble...
What like Honda did in 2008 by Building 3 prototype's and going with the best option, no wonder they pulled out.
Ross Brawn rinsed them dry

Exactly!Same goes for Toyo... no wait.
I still stand by my view, it was an all or nothing attitude and not giving up. I think he'll have a slightly different attitude in the remaining races although still have a point to prove.
EDIT: For the first time he'll be able to push the otherguys around a bit.
It depends how competitive McLaren will be in the remaining races.

The Mclaren's come on a bit and if he's up near the front he could be a bit more of a loose cannon than usual :p
well they got a one - two for qualifying
then were s***.

Hell man, I'm nobody. But even so I know that third place with a lap or two to go is FAR from competing for the win in an F1 race. It isn't that he made a mistake, it's the stupid garbage that seems to flow from his mouth after he does that cracks me up. It's nearly as funny as his fans who defend him even when what he says makes NO sense whatsoever. Tell me man, HOW was he competing for the win when he crashed? Under what circumstances could he possibly have won that race at that point? So when he says he crashed because he was pushing for the win...doesn't something in your mind cry bullpoo?
I am not bagging on the guy for making a racing mistake...that is part of the game. What bothers me about him is he never takes the blame when he makes a mistake. Run over Alonso on a straightaway...Alonso MUST have lifted (telemetry says otherwise). Run off the pitlane into a sand trap...team had him out too long on tires. Slam into the back of two parked cars in the pit lane....team failed to tell him about the red light. It is time and time again with this guy. He makes a LOT of mistakes, and that is cool...but for god's sake the least he could do when he makes a mistake is be silent about it rather than constantly seeking someone or some way to pass the buck. Hamilton is criticized more than any other driver eh? Tell that to Button for his last several years. Tell Badoer that....or for that matter ANY Ferrari driver in history. The fact is Hamilton is only criticized when he opens his mouth and says something stupid....which is usually directly after he has made some odd mistake on track, or just as often...in the pits.
In truth. I love the guy. Never before has someone I wanted to see lose given me so many reasons to be happy. Michael Schumacher was the last arrogant jerk driver that I always wanted to see lose...the problem was the man has unbelievable driving skills to back up his mouth....so he seldom made huge mistakes that cost his team millions. Hamilton on the other hand has delivered time and time again. Just this past race we were winding down to the end and I was going to have to see Hamilton on the podium again and said outloud...come on Hammy, make me proud. One lap later...HE DELIVERED. God I love that guy.

HaHa this post really did make me laugh.
I don't normally reply to your posts because you talk so much rubbish but on this occasion I feel obliged to reply because of how hard you have tried to back up your arguments with fickle evidence biased by your own strong emotions.Hell man, I'm nobody.

What you quite clearly don't comprehend here is that some people will push flat out 110% for something to try and achieve that goal even if the odds are a million to one that it will actually happen, some people will keep on pushing as hard as they can until it's impossible to complete their goal Hamilton is one of those people.I am not bagging on the guy for making a racing mistake...that is part of the game.

This paragraph actually make much more sense even though you have twisted some truths such as the Alonso incident when Lewis thought Alonso had braked, your right that telemetry showed that he didn't brake but you forgot to mention that Lewis's front wing broke on the straight causing the accident. I agree that Lewis has made many mistakes and in the past he has placed far to much blame on others mostly McLaren but this season after Bahrain Lewis hasn't blamed others for his mistakes only himself i think this shows a change in fundamental character.In truth. I love the guy. Never before has someone I wanted to see lose given me so many reasons to be happy.

This is mostly your emotions towards Lewis for whatever reason I'm not sure and i don't care to much, what I would say is that I think many people mistake Lewis's self confidence for arrogance. I think self confidence is extremely important in a top sportsman because if you don't have faith in yourself then how are you going to have the confidence to win and give 100%.
