I am a dedicated Ferrari fan in Formula 1, but Brawn GP has proven to be one of the coolest teams on the grid. First, they mashed a Mercedes engine into the Honda chassis a couple of weeks before the championship started, and then proceeded to kick everyone’s ass with their Frankencar. There’s no doubt that Ross Brawn has had a huge positive influence on the team (he helped Schumacher win his 7 world drivers titles), but this kind of performance is unheard of. They then secured a sponsorship deal with Richard Branson’s Virgin group, which is one of the companies I admire most in the world.

Now, Brawn GP may enter into another sponsorship deal with Google. The search giant is rumoured to want to enter F1 as soon as possible, and Brawn GP would be a logical choice. There’s still loads of space available on the car to plaster some Google logo’s and the car is mostly white, which is typical of Google’s sites. If this goes through, it will unite 3 people I admire a lot: Ross Brawn, Richard Branson and Larry Page. Fricken awesome.
