Will opinions change on Ross Brawn now?

[Tres_Bien]

Maybe I'm wrong but there seems to be a vague feeling that RB has always been "tainted" with his MS and Ferrari connections. He played the political and gamesmanship card as much as Todt (and Dennis and Briatore, let's be equitable here)..

I mean he's clearly and demonstrably superb at his job but...is there an undercurrent of ill feeling from non MS and Ferrari fans (of which there are fair few, although i don't count myself among them..I've warmed to MS in particular)?

Will his appointment to Honda see this change?

I guess I'm speaking to people less "favourably inclined" toward Ferrari/MS

Got to say, I like him too and daresay he was toeing the party line when at Ferrari...although weren't there also cases of "interpreting the rules in a flexible fashion" when he was at Renault too?

I guess my question was prompted by the flak that Todt gets when Brawn wasn't whiter than white either. Having said that, i do take the view that all's fair in love and war and what one side calls whinging, the other will call protecting the integrity of the sport. Somewhere in the middle lies the truth.

In fact, there's not really anyone i particularly dislike in F1 as realistically they are all doing their paid job at the end of the day.

Ha! Sorry, I forgot the obvious exception of Max "cock-knocker" Mosely. What a singularly unpleasant and odious man he really is.
