It’s always interesting when Formula One teams take on new drivers, especially when none of us really knows how the new cars are going to turn out.
This much is certain, McLaren, Red Bull and Ferrari were making inroads into Brawn’s designs last season. However the new rules package will tell the tale of who started developing them and then the driver match ups. We can’t rule out Brawn,Schumacher and Brawn’s ability to adapt quickly to the new rules.
