Brawn GP (topic rename)

Virgin might be the least "blank" and "dull" corporation on the planet. You know. Interesting stuff, with an owner doing interesting things. Rather than making mobile coffins for a target audience for an age group that is in triple digits.

I read over at BBC that Brawn are meant to bringing in a new sidepod design worth a suspected 3 tenths a lap..?

Might be, but for me it is still boring and dull. Mostly because I dont even know anything about whole brand. Owner might be doing interesting things, but I doubt they will be doing anything so interesting and cool with the team as BAT was doing before Honda bought the team.

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

What did BAT do that was interesting?

Honestly,i prefer their car to leave just like that,and im just gonna focus setting up the car,instead of mixing and experimenting unusual shapes for their BGp 001,although i cannot say exactly if its good,because we are taking about ross brawn here,the genius behind this wheel.

well theyll obviously have the original, it just might be that jenson does his laps on the old, rubens tests the new ones and comes out 0.3s faster than his laps on the original so they swap and update both cars overall.

good news though, but i hope they don't turn all red, thats a bit overkill by branson.


Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it

I don't think they'd need to be all red - Virgin's colours are generally white with red highlights:

Something like that, with the scarlet lady on the engine cover?

Some of the most beautiful liveries in F1 history (some of these before BAR team, but anyway).
Most expensive 0points season in F1 history.
Image of their team including rebelling against FIA already before their first race. Bonneville events..



Not much, but Virgin is just blank for me..

I don't think any of them get anywhere near the most beautiful liveries. But some of them can get the most horrific livery in F1 history award. And painting 2 cars different colours is hardly rebellious.

Bonneville is cool though.

Virgin. Lets see. The owner decided to randomly fly round the world in a balloon. He broke the record for an amphibious car crossing the channel. And now he got a bit bored so decided to build SPACESHIPS. Yeah - motherf**king SPACESHIPS. How less bland can you get?

Ya okay. About that I didnt know.

And Im not smoker, but with "some of these before BAR team" I did mean more what I have readed about these cars:






But ok. Lets say Virgin BGP is atleast not going to direction of "my earth dream" save the world boredom.

Sir Richard Awesome Branson owns/invested in a company with has developed clean burning fuels - he's in F1 to try push it in, so in one sense he's trying to do that. But also make ££££$$$€€€ and have a damn @#$%& good time whilst he's at it.

BAT/BAR-Honda was deadly boring. I don't see how they were doing anythig interesting. The liveries sucked as well. While BAT own John Player, Rothmans which all had epic grand prix liveries, it is a bit unfair to attribute all this to BAT. On the other hand, Richard Branson is probably the most interesting CEO out there with the possible exception of Michael O'Leary of Ryanair. Seeing Virgin involved in F1 is exciting and to me evokes the Benson and Hedges era Jordan. Faaaaatastic.

well.. For me Virgin is boring. And now I most say its even less than that: [f1.gpupdate.net]

Why the team wasnt good enought when they really needed help? And now this 'wannabe über cool' sure is offering his help and wants to be the god and king of everything. What ever..

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

I'm liking 'Sir Richard AWESOME Branson' - how apt

It also reminds me of Jacques @#$%& Villeneuve

Nothing wrong with beeing rich or making profit, but I dislike people who doesnt do anything except turn their jacket and collect the glory.

But whatever..

Nick Fry's voice was a shock when I first heard it last weekend, I must not have been listening before.

The virgin still red hot after 25 years advert is classic imo too, good sense of humour.
