My ultra long preview should be here by the weekend hopefully, a week before the season opener.

Race wins will decide the World Champion this season. Points will still be used in the Constructors Championship and to sort out the placing of the drivers. In the result of a tie, points will decide the Champion.

I think you're being a tad opimistic there pb....

Cool.

Nice to see the Brawn GP cars looking fairly competitive as well. Hopefully they'll hold together in a race and Button might even win a few races this year.

Toro Rosso released their car today so that's all the cars released now.

Yeah, the name stinks but at least we still have all the cars on the grid.

"BrawnGP"?

Please....


Still, it's got that the team is still in existance and will be taking part in this years Championship!

Got a lot of respect for Ross Brawn,really hope his team can cut it.

Well, it's official. Brawn racing is go. Should be testing their car soon in Silverstone. So that's another one to add to the track.

Now I can't wait till the end of the month when we hear that familiar Fleetwood Mac theme tune again. That'll bring back memories for a lot of people.

Yeah, it's all very secretive but they feel happy that a deal is, or is close to being, done. Until we know the ins and outs (or perhaps will never will) we just have to wait for the statement.

FOTA have come out with a list of potential money saving ideas and ideas based on viewer feedback. One of them is a points alteration. 12 for 1st, 9 for 2nd and 7 for 3rd. 5 done to 1 for 4th to 8th. There is some other stuff in the statement too. Worth checking out.

Well, looks like some interesting developments over at Honda.

Rumours of who will take the team forward seem to have settled on Brawn and Button to carry the team forward, with Button losing most of his pay and even paying for his own physio team.

Virgin were very interested but it seems like Honda have turned them down.

After rumours of Barrichello being replaced by Senna, it may be that the long time Honda driver is still going to be driving for his team after all. Ross Brawn had cancelled a meeting with Senna and Barrichello has been talking to the press about promises made by the team.
