how do you figure that out. They have testing time and setup advantage. Something Brawn don't. set-up time and practice is far more important than saving a pair of intermediates. Especially if it's dry tomorrow and wet for eh race. Even if it's wet all the way through. They are behind the others. Regardless of tyres.

Especially seining as they said it's in case he wiped out and not to conserve tyres.


They have 4 sets of intermediates. More than enough especially as they can use one set over multiple practices if they wish.

On Five Live with F1 on the net this morning the tech guy from Brawn said
that the car is setup it just needs fine tuning for each driver.

So if it does rain again on sat practice they will have a spare set of tires that the other do not have.

How can it possibly be setup. they have no testing apart from practices.

Spa is like Suzuka because the tracks are similar the corners and so on so the gear ratios will be very similar.
Test the car when new parts are added or replace parts then test again.
Add fuel or take away fuel with new or old parts then test.

Thats why they want to make the cars more uniform so as the drivers skills make the difference.

Its the drivers that fine tune the car to their style of racing.

Exactly which is why the car is not tuned at present if they don't use qauli. That fine tune is where you make the difference and one where brawn have thrown a way an opportunity where he others have not.

Not fine tuned no but nither are the other cars as they went out and did nothing but wast a set of tires.
Second practice was reduced to just 13 minutes of action but they wasted a set of tires.

"As the weather forecast shows a dry qualifying and race and with limited wet weather tyres,
we felt that there was nothing further to be learnt from running again this afternoon."

Brawn have a extra set of inter to everone else to use if need be thats how I see it.

No, they gathered data. And if it is dry then they don't need inters and if it is wet then they have lost 13mins of running, where they don't really need fresh tyres.
 
i thought the practice was supposed to be on the red button at 16:00 gmt? Unless Im mistaken, it's not displaying on it. :(
 
It is clear that one of Brawn GP's great weaknesses this year has been not having the benefit of access to the wisdom of some of OcUK's brilliant armchair strategists :D

OcUK wins each championship before the season even starts most years. Why they're not all employed by teams I'll just never know...

Hmmm. I'm beginning to think that your girlfriend didn't use previous knowledge of the sport to select the drives for her fantasy team. ;)
