Uh oh.. I can see it now.... "Honda is being fined for having stolen documents from Ferrari in their possession".
Brawn should be able to help. They really can't do much worse than what they are doing now.

In all fairness, Honda is pretty good about not dumping their drivers prematurely. Look at Jenson Button. He's had all the time in the world to prove himself with the team. It's Toyota that's a joke. When their cars were sucking really bad, it had to be the driver of course.

The nice thing about having a proven entity like Brawn is if they can't get the team off the ground with him, they can't go firing drivers that "can't get the job done".

Wasn't it Honda that found their main Wind Tunnel (1/2 or full scale roling road) out of calibration - substantially? The calibration had remained unchanged since BARs management.
Their new Aerodynamicist found it evaluating old their test data??

Unbelievable, I didn't think Ross (great first name btw 
) would ever leave Ferrari!
Honda must have dug deep into their pockets to lure him away, or maybe he outgrew Italian women???

He left Ferrari last year. What's surprising to me is that he came back to F1 and is going to work for another team.

Well, this development should make things interesting. It may make things a bit more racey in the second tier of F1 but it is going to take years for them to challenge for the top. Maybe they will sign Alonso...naw, he's going to NASCAR like everyone else should. Why race fast, over-regulated, nearly spec cars when you can run kinda fast, completely regulated, spec cars?
Anyway, I'm hoping to see BMW do better next year but I still want Ferrari to win.
