Is Brawn the Key?
Discussion
Nope its money and time that make the difference,remember the Brawn car was eing developed all of laast season whilst the donkeys were challanging for the title.
This year the cars are not evolved much from last year as the rules have changed dramatically,in a few months they anf mclaren will be at the sharp end again

I was thinking more along the lines of what the keymaster did to the gatekeeper 
I think you need to seek help...
As for it just being money, I can't see how that's the case. When Brawn was with Ferrari they rather dominated. Even when Schui left they were in with a shot at the title (though the team made some errors which I put down to new management and teething troubles as a result), then Brawn goes, and it appears to have all gone a bit t**s up. I mean, last time I checked the faster cars tended to head out and win qualifying to get better grid slots, not forget to go back out on circuit etc.. It just seems that they suddenly are falling apart a bit. I am going to assume that their budget hasn't been destroyed to that degree...
Let's face it, some of the "poorer" teams are doing rather well right now!! (Of course I do accept that some of the rule changes assist in this regard to keep costs down)...
But I cannot imagine that Brawn racing have the biggest budget out there.

Yep, it's not just money, Ross seems to be a great organiser of people and a great motivator(he got those Italians to focus for years).
Brawn have a small budget, but remember the car has been developed for over a year when Honda threw shedloads of money at it.
If you look at who is at the top now its the middle ranked teams from last year who started developing this years car much earlier than usual.
Its difficult for teams to catch up as there are tighter limits on wind tunnel and track testing.Thats why teams abandoned last years season early.
Brawn is good but not a god

I see your point BUT when it was a Honda car it wasn't running in Pole or even in the top 6... Yet now, they are having a poor race if out of the top six? Can't be THAT much progress over summer especially given the cloud hanging over them...
