Can you believe this is going up two weeks after we recorded it? Anyway, we sat down with the guys from Gear Head Haven and put together almost 2 hours of gear head goodness. This week we’ve got loads of good stuff out of F1:  Jensen Button gets win number 6, Lotus may come back to F1, and FIA and FOTA go head to head. And when the powers of Chrysler and  Fiat unite it’s enough to make bond holders cry themselves to sleep at night . Then we’ve got a few tasty tidbits about an all wheel drive Ferrari, and a possible BMW Y series. The car god himself has spoken on Saturn’s new focus on electric cars. And from our friends from across the pond, we’ve got a Bugatti Veryon for only $25K,  the world famous Top Gear Test Track is now on the endangered species, and the Aston Martin Rapied has been spied. And in the realm of new and uber cool we’ve got the one the only Ferrari Enzo II and the return of the CobraJet! And ofcourse we’ve got our weekly Fiesta Update.

Yup thats right folks. About a month ago we told you guys that Virgin was buying the Honda F1 team. that wasn’t entirely true, they ended up being the Title Sponsor for the newly formed Brawn GP team, which was the old Honda team. But regardless in their first race they managed a One – Two finish as well as taking the poll position during qualifying!

This is what Brawn had to say about the historic victory:

We have worked incredibly hard for the victory in Melbourne and to see the dedication, commitment and sheer hard work come to fruition with Jenson and Rubens bringing home a one-two finish for Brawn GP at the first race of the season was immensely rewarding. After everything that our team has been through over the past four months, it was quite simply a sensational result. 

It is just the beginning for us and it wasn’t a perfect race by any means so we will learn and continue to improve. We have to keep developing the car throughout the season if we want to challenge for further wins and the championship. 

I would like to express our sincere thanks to Norbert Haug and Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines who have been so supportive over the past few months and have worked closely with the team to ensure we were in a position to go racing this year. Thanks also to Virgin, Henri Lloyd and all our team partners for having the vision to see what the team could do and wanting to be a part of it. It’s difficult to put into words what this win means to our team but I’m sure that I speak for every single one of them, here at the track and back at the factory in Brackley, when I say it was a wonderful weekend. 

- Ross Brawn

It looks as if the new rules for F1 are rocking this year. It was one of the best races I’ve seen in a while even if they did finish the last couple of laps under caution.
