Marketing doesn't give a s**t about people, unless that person is a brand name too.

What racing? Brawn wins every time. What's the point? |

There's still good racing down the grid. Just because the action isn't for the top spot doesn't mean there's none to be had. |

Thats what I'm talking about. As much as Lewis isn't in the title race, I still support him because he does some exciting stuff on track. |

I agree, but it is a bit depressing to see several world champions fighting for only one point. |

Well after such a long time of one team dominating the sport, it's good to see world champions fighting for points. It's good to see anyone fighting for points. Although I am pleased to see Jenson doing well, I am not happy to see Brawn dominate the way other teams have. However, I don't really think Brawn have had the absolute best car. It's been said that the Red bulls were in fact stronger in Barcelona, so put like that they (brawn) are dominating through ability of personal rather than car. Rubens should have won in Spain, and in fact on paper the Red Bulls should also have challenged for a win in Spain, but, neither did. I also find it rather amusing that now their hero isn't dominating in a superior car, people don't like other 'teams' dominating. I've seen some good racing this season and that's not even at the sharp end. |

Yeah, funny that. Personally I think that Brawn have made a good effort and good luck to them, even though they did take advantage of a 12 month head start on most teams. |

Yes, I remember back in 2005 when half the bandwagoning tifosi from the last five years suddenly found F1 to be "boring" because there was only one person winning.

We haven't had a situation like this since 2004. Each season after there have been at least two teams fighting for the titles. 2005 was Mclaren vs Renault, 2006 was Ferrari vs Renault, 2007 was Mclaren vs Mclaren vs Ferrari 2008 was Ferrari vs Mclaren vs BMW, now in 2009 it should have been Brawn vs Toyota, Williams and Red Bull, but it's just Brawn and it's not exactly thrilling.

They had exactly the same amount of time available to other teams. |

Whilst I wouldn't exactly be complaining if my driver were dominating, I would certainly see other people's point that it would be pretty dull. Hopefully though in a few races' time we will again have multiple teams contesting the race victory......sure hope Rubens gets a win by then, incidentally. |

I don't think that's entirely true. Red Bull are capable of competing with Brawn, indeed if it weren't for some poor decisions they'd probably have won at least one more race than they have. Add to that that in Monaco Red Bull will have the first iteration of their double diffuser ... and that Ferrari appear to be rapidly gathering pace.... I don't think Brawn will have it all their own way this season even if they have built up a good lead in the championships. |

We could see a 2006-style season, where another team (RB or Ferrari are the best bets) actually ending up with a faster car than Brawn. It will be races like Bahrain, where Brawn manage to win when they probably shouldn't have, that decide the championship. |

2008 was Ferrari vs Mclaren vs BMW, now in 2009 it should have been Brawn vs Toyota, Williams and Red Bull, but it's just Brawn and it's not exactly thrilling.
