Honda Team to be called "Brackley F1"...

Brackley sounds like a good name with the main counterargument that now we will have one more team, whose name represents a geographical unit, although at least it's not a country. :) Well, it'll be a good publicity for the town of Brackley and without any cost to them. :D

Its also great to see Barrichello's chances of a drive vastly improve. I don't think he will be a competitive driver if he BrackleyF1 sign him up for 2009, but I do think his experience will be very helpful. Barrichello is a driver who I would like to see leave the sport on his own accord, as opposed to being forced out by financial matters or lack of response from the teams.

I dont think there is a F1 fan who doesnt share your setiments but its a chicken and egg senario atmo.

His experiance will help make the team competitive BUT I do think Brawn needs the finances Senna can allegedly bring.

Its going to be a tough one either way

I feel people are overestimating the value of experience, I mean even if they take Senna, they already have one very experienced (in modern F1 terms) driver in Button. Barrichello is the past, Senna could possibly be the future. Button ja Barrichello together is a very cozy arrangement, perhaps too easy for both drivers.

Whilst nobody can deny that Barrichello had some good drives last season behind the wheel of the Honda, and that is what is probably spurring him on to continue this year and you cannot help but admire the man, there also has to be a line to be drawn. Yes, he brings experience to a team and yes they are behind the rest of the 2009 grid now but they are also made up of vastly experienced people. Button is surely experienced enough to lead, Rubens has been around in F1 since 1993 and yes Bruno Senna is rumoured to be more likely to bring much needed funds but I for one hope that the drive goes to him, simply to aid the growth of the sport and the driver merry go round. He, along with many other up and coming drivers deserve their day, Rubens is one of a few still hanging around that have had theirs.

spygate only in their mind if Rubens can remember driver settings and ross can remember car setup it could be a good car this year

I prefer Bunsen and Edges - has a nice ring to it.

I would of preferred 'Back From The Brink Racing'.... but Brackley f1? Brawnsport? come on people, put some creativity into it!

:rotflmao:

well done

Now then it could be that the new team keep Barrichello and take on young Senna,as they cant afford Buttons wages,then they have 2 South americans,OR Button stumps up some cash OR gets paid by his results !

Think again. Bunsen is on contract, and the team couldn't afford to drop him. :rolleyes:
