Yeah, it's almost iconoclastic. Still don't know why they can't get a sponsor...?

They can't get a sponsor because nobody believes that they can compete once everyone catches up technically.

I never thought sponsors would be so savvy! Pretty soon Brawn should give up on 2009 (Jenson has won it, realistically) and start on 2010 unless they want to be a fluke.

I think what Matchett just said is correct.

F1 is about having the best tech, best drivers and best cars. Multiply that by 12 teams and you have F1.

I agree 100%. Wish the people in charge did, also.

The teams are testing tire compounds now.

This is why nobody wakes up for the practice sessions . . . .

What would I rather be doing?

It's 8 AM now (for me), so I've got the whole morning to read Brit car magazines and plan out a date w/ my gf tonight.

Hate the 5 AM deal for you guys.
