“I am happy, really happy!”
“I felt very good”
“This one was born really nicely”
“It is a good combination with the engine, in terms of power and drivability”
“This year is going to be a happy one.”
“Now we are a very well prepared group”
“We have a good chance to have a car to surprise”
“I think we will be the surprise of the year.”
These are the reactions by Ruben Barrichello after clocking the fastest time in Barcelona Day 4 testing.
2 days in a row, 2 different driver, 1 team. Brawn BGP 001 and the team proved that they have the package to be on top of the list. It will be too soon to say, but Brawn GP F1 team definitely is the team to watch in 2009 season.
The car still empty without any sponsorship (other than the tyres supplier Bridgestone), but I believe that despite the current economy situation, they will still attract big money from the sponsors. (Do we have the word “recession” in Formula One dictionary?)
