Dodgy Business: Brawn GP is the real deal

If you haven't already placed bets on Brawn GP winning races this year, you better hurry, Tony Dodgins says...

Ten days or so ago I was on the phone to a mate talking about the forthcoming F1 season.

"Wouldn't it be funny if, just as Honda canned everything they ended up with a really quick car?" he said. "But it's not likely, is it? I mean, they will have seen the simulation figures and everything before they decided to bin it..."

You don't often see testing superiority of that kind. The last time I can recall a new car's arrival creating such a stir was the 1988 McLaren, when Senna and Prost turned up at Imola and, after arguing about who was going to have first go, proceeded to demonstrate that it didn't much matter - the gate man would have been quickest.
