Default Brawn GP Fast and Suspect (article)

I came across this today on BBC's site

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport...one/7962869.stm

I know there's been lots of talk here about the team, so forgive me if this topic was covered and I missed it.

Summary:

Cars are fast.
Others are QQ about Brawn (and a few other teams) over bits of tech and aero.
Sounds like par for the course, should be good this weekend.

I was thinking about this one.
So is the steward a race track specific official or is he a season long F1 official?

Stewards are race track specific, and are usually the local motor body's representatives. The organization they belong to is affiliated to the FIA. This is what I heard.

Now let's be fair, although Brawn may be good there is no need to put them up on some pinnacle of total superiority. The fact is the teams that have the objection, have it with Brawn AND Toyota AND Williams. It's not like Brawn is the only one with the questionable interpretation, there are two other teams just as smart and clever.
