The winning team remains intact. Brawn and chief designer Rory Byrne have worked tirelessly to parlay the F2000's consistently competitive track performance to new levels within the terms of the new aerodynamic rules. There have been developments in all areas, but especially in the front wing. The new engine has been completely redesigned, as well as the front and rear suspensions in order to maximize the use of the Bridgestone tires. Maranello insiders believe that the new car will give Schumacher an early points advantage before he has to worry about McLaren brainstorming its way to a superior traction control system from the Spanish GP onwards.
Brawn thinks they have thought of everything, but admits that one never knows.
Maybe McLaren will have thought of something we have not.
