To add to what Triple-H said - sponsors want to be associated with known names and brands. BGP has neither.
McLaren does well to make their Mercedes bond very obvious, but teams like Williams seem to be in decline over the years, and Sauber was brilliant enought to make BMW so much a part of their name the Sauber is virtually completely lost at this point. Interesting.

well it's going to be interesting to see how the grid stacks up on return from the break.
BGP managed to squeak out 2 points today, it's looking less and less likely that they hang on for the win.

^^ ok guys, I admit the Brawn's did not perform per expectations. Good to see the order change again. As much as I'd like BGP to win in a landslide, I'd prefer a close season with the championship going down to the wire and may the best team win.
Hoping FM is ok in time for Valencia. RedBull looked good for points untill SV retired. Good race my Mark Webber though.
Hoping Brawn will see a resurgence yet again and yes I'll admit I am hoping against hope

I don't think we'll see FM racing again this year. With a brain injury that bad, doctors aren't going to be keen on him taking the physical abuse and G forces of an F1 car. 
But I do think he'll be fine...just not F1 ready.

BGP is in big trouble. There's a good chance they will go backwards and adopt the Turkey spec car. The changes they implemented have made the car worse. They only set some decent times towards the end of the race.
They're also making bad decisions during the race. I dont understand why they didnt short fill Jenson on the first pit stop to avoid the log jam of cars. They have made a few bad decisions this year which has cost them points and even(possibly) a win (Barichello).
