    All part of the game. You have to be thick-skinned to survive in motorsport, let alone make it to F1. Jenson's been around long enough to take care of himself.

    I think that Brawn is trying hard to secure Jenson for less money. IMO he should give him at least a partial increase. FW treated his champions with disrespect and where is he now?

    Sir Frank ran out of powerful engines. Where is he now? He is a member of the group that desperately want to lower the costs of Formula 1 racing. Perhaps he has forgotten those heady times in the '80s-'90s when he was a major, well funded team that delighted in throwing all kinds of money at developing new technologies, materials, alloys, and the testing that contributed mightily to making F1 the expensive pastime he complains about today.
    If legislation makes you equal, you aren't.

    Brawn indicated that a replacement for the Williams bound Nico Rosberg ... will only be annouced when the Button situation is resolved.

    Williams had the best drivers driving for him and where is he now?

    Rubens Barrichello as number 1 driver and the most successful driver in the formulas below f1 since Lewis Hamilton, as drivers.

    HIs driver for 2010 far more accomplished than the two he has had over the past couple of years.

    How bloody awful!!

    I belive that jenson will stay with Brawn for the being because of the winning car, but McLaren will probably give him a good offer

    Brawn should at least give him something similar to what he was on in 2008, which was apparently Ł9million, before dropping to Ł3million for this season.

    Doubling his salary for 2010 should be the minimum IMO.
