Default did Brawn GP got "the call"?

I've been watch & attending F1 races for the past 30 years. There have been a few (and only a few) upsets that I can remember. Recent ones that come to mind: Toro Rosso in MonZa & Jordan in Brazil. Both of those upsets were a result of weather & crashes. I've never remember seeing a small team like Brawn completely outrun the big teams. Have you? I smell a rat. THEY GOT THE CALL

In his own, very confused way, he's alleging that the race was fixed.

LOL

So it was Bernie who called them in May of last year and told them to give up on '08 and start developing the '09 car? NOW it all makes sense!!

Thanks for clearing that up for us, Coffee.

Lol, if they were going to do that I think they would've called Honda, to give them a reason to stay in F1.

This ain't NASCAR and Bill France is not running F1.

Brawn GP 001 was developed under the big $$$ of Honda. The car is anything but the product of a small team. For someone who allegedly has watched F1 for 30 years they should know that.
