Is Ross the next Frank?
Ferrari, MacLaren & Williams have all had great success in F1. With all that these three teams have done in the past, most people feel that these are the teams F1 can't afford to lose.
My question is: 20 years from now, will people think the same way of Brawn GP as they do of these three other F1 greats?
Ross has shown he's got what it takes to create and maintain a successful F1 team. If anyone has the talent to create the next F1 dynasty, I would think he might be the guy. I know it's extremely early to be thinking of this sort of thing, but will F1 have four teams that it can't afford to lose in the future?

We've had teams we couldn't afford to loose in the past.
Lotus and Brabham spring to mind.All other opinions are wrong....

Ross Brawn has proven himself to be a very cagey race manager, often calling shots which gave SchM crucial advantage to allow him to pass opposition cars and win races. This was evident in Oz when he immediately called bunsen to pit before the SC came out.
On top of this, Honda, with Brawn at the helm, spent the whole of last year developing this years car, and very well too.
My view is that Brawn is smarter than Patrick Head, is cooler under fire, (figuratively), and will continue to win races if the Merc continues to be as good as it has been in races 1 and 2. And if bunsen continues his good form.When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

Scenery is nice, but Rally2's on these type of roads aren't that interesting to watch at least
