In China both Button and Barrichello had their rear shields off during the whole race .

In Bahrain only Barrichello had his rear shields off during the whole race but for practice sessions the sheilds were on .

I'm no expert but I would say a difference in driving style has to do with it.

Ruben likes the rare brakes to be more heated than button
if u see the rare exhaust on Rubens car for the brakes would be different compared to button.

Interesting Facts.

Brawn have already equalled Jordans total of four race wins, leaving them 18th in the team rankings.

If Brawn win this weekend in monaco, it will see Mercedes equal Honda in the all time race wins ranking for engines.

Ferrari 210
Ford 176
Renault 116
Honda 72
Mercedes 71

I appreciate the heavy irony in a Honda developed chassis enabling Mercedes to match (and then, most likely beat) Honda's race win record. I doubt that it would have happened this year should Honda not have pulled the plug.

I love these little pieces. Just to think of the engineering that has gone into this.

Redesigned bodywork around the exhausts and the rear suspension’s components with a sharper inward curve closer to the centre of the car . The exhausts are now more enclosed than before in order to improve airflow to the rear wing
