All right, It's my own paranoid conspiracy theory. But, you had to admit it's a bit suspicious when a back marker (and this team was a back marker) loses it's financial backing & suddenly DOMINATES a race weekend. Has this EVER happened in recent memory?

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

LOL. F1 Debrief just pointed out that the safety car's deployment was delayed for two laps - until the very instant Button finished his pit stop.

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

Kind of what you insinuated all last year???

Pot meet the kettle....

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

They had all of last year to work on the '09 car, so I think that is what is helping them so much.

I do not think they will be able to maintain their current advantage though the season.
