Red Bull moves everything into the ground running, but straight up to a massive problem. And yet what is going on BrawnGP?

Of course, the weather played a crucial role. But not so long ago, as had been previously thought. On race day, it was not really cold, the temperatures were just below 20 degrees. So much warmer than in England. Still trying Jenson Button his front tires using wavy lines on the start / finish line to keep warm. The problem of the Brawn is not just that you probably only from a distance temperature of 40 degrees the whole package gets up and running quickly, but also that the route should not be "green." The more tire wear on the slopes, the better to cope Brawn. This was reflected in the lap of the race. To the one must be careful that you do not fall behind Ferrari and possibly even behind Williams, Ferrari and Toyota.

I had long since ceased to visit at a Formula One race. The invitation to the ring came in handy. Also to see what's on the show everything is so amiss.

To get straight to the point: The whole weekend was a blast. This was due not only to the extremely friendly service provided by the McLaren team *, but also to the overall experience. As close as it comes "mortal" never approached the car and the team. Had started the weekend on Friday, after the free practice, so as we were invited into the paddock about 17.00 clock. There we were able to visit the famous McLaren Mercedes Brand Center. This thing is really huge. To celebrate two floors, plenty of room for a medium-sized party and work behind the scenes, countless employees. For transportation you need 14 (!) Trucks, the construction will take two days. But that's nothing compared to the Brand Center of Red Bull, which is so large that it seriously gets under half the paddock. After a friendly welcome we received then also a tour of the pits and could take a look at the computer screens of the engineers. But really it was only around on Saturday.
