Some think the team will now be called Brackley F1. Why not RBR for Ross Brawn Racing? That would piss off Red Bull!

Best regards. I guess this explains why I'm not at my post!

1990 C11. A very good car and a very neutral but effective livery. Somewhat like a car I saw, I think, about 50 years ago.

All car manufacterers are banks... they are the main financers of their products and make probly half their revenue from loans for those vehicles, and certifies used ones as well.

BrackleyF1 has been registered in Lithuania...

This is a normal dot com event, people guess that new name for a company and register the name/WWW address so that the big firm have to pay for them to release it, and it will be a decent sum.

If we follow the hypothesis that there will be a "Brawn F1" on the Melbourne grid for a second, I understand that Jenson Button is willing to take a pay-cut to get the drive. This begs for an ignorant question, is there any reason, contractual or otherwise for Ross Brawn to pay him anything if other people can bring money?

Yeah, Button has a contract with the team AFAIK. Rubens on the other hand does not hold a contract.
