That's easy, I have THE best job. I'm a left hand glove sorter in a right hand glove factory.

I earn minimum wage. Next year, I move on to tea boy, and that's when the big bucks start rolling in.....

I've been asked to make sandwiches for a member, any tips????

Well you get the point.

I am not disputing that they had some changes to make, however it is ridiculous to claim that they've cut out 15cms of their chassis and were still the fastest car out there.

I have provided the link to Horner saying that it is practically no difference between the F1 engines nowadays, that you can wait until December to decide which engine you throw in the back of the chassis.

The Honda engine can't be 15 cms shorter than the Mercedes, not for a strictly regulated 8V 2.4 liter engine, and as you pointed out they used their own gearbox so the difference can't come from the use of different gearbox.

Given the rules, the nature of the science and the competition all engines will try to have the lowest possible COG which means that crankheights will not differ more than a few millimeters.

I agree with Tamburello that they had to make some modifications to the rear suspension and it's attachment points in order to re-balance the car, but then again nothing like 15cms.

Believing that Brawn GP did cut out 15cms of their chassis in order to accommodate a new engine and still had a superior car is something that I can explain in only one way...

Right. They still did have a great chassis and there is no use to try to create urban legends about them.

He started it.....

I hope that Cosworth's engines don't detonate on the first GP.
Good reliability should be part of the package, but we'll have to wait and see.

HAHA! God, that's pathetic.

Classic case of an internet e-thug.
