Briatore should concentrate on his team instead of criticising the Brawn drivers and denying Brawn money they are due simply because they've done a better job.

Sorry mate, but that doesn't make Buttona and Rubens any faster.
Take another piece of humble pie, you earned it, again.

Those complaining about Flavio speaking his mind....should Jackie Stewart stfu too?

Barrichello was and is a waste of a competitive seat...once again failing to maximise a brilliant car.

I imagine that today he's pretty pleased to see the latest incarnation of team he founded then sold at a healthy profit winning in such style.

You mean the team that didn't win for 10 years thanks to his legacy?

Button mentioned after the race that the car was "floating" around in the wet conditions, so they weren't as fast as they perhaps should have been. Just because they're the top cars in the dry doesn't automatically convert to best in the wet.

(Brawn) said his drivers had struggled to keep heat in their wet tyres as effectively as the Red Bulls had.
"We were struggling with tyre temperature after the safety car came in," Brawn explained. "That may have been a factor because when the cars came out after pitstops it didn't seem too bad, and when we could got temperature it was okay. Rubens actually had the fastest lap."

The others were floating around too, as we clearly saw. It was the same conditions for everyone and drivers made the different in the case of pretty equal cars.

Jenson and Rubens are not worthy of championship titles in F1.

The team which grabbed a P2 at Monco in its debut year, then won with Johnny Herbert in similar conditions to today. That Ford couldn't sustain that once they'd bought it is hardly Stewart's fault.

Anyway, once again we digress from the point of this thread: Flavio should stop deflecting. His team is massively underperforming, and slinging mud around won't help.
