MPH: Mark Hughes on...
Why have Brawn and Red Bull emerged as the title battlers of 2009? Could it be that they each employ a technical titan?
So at this stage of the season, the question is being begged: how come the championship seems to be being dominated by two little teams while the world champion driver's team and the world champion constructors are nowhere? There are all sorts of reasons being proposed:
1. That the two title battlers from last year were so caught up in their battle they forgot about this year. Probably rubbish - they have way too many resources for that to have been an issue. They have separate teams of designers/aerodynamicists working on the following year's car that don't need to think about racing this one.
