For those who were up early this morning watching the qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, you may have like me been expecting to see the Brawn repainted in a stunning Virgin livery. Not so!
A few Virgin stickers stuck on the Brawn yellow and white colour scheme seemed a little weak to me.
So far I can think of three scenarios for this:
- Brawn just didn’t have the time/money/resources to get the job done.
- Virgin are not as committed as the sound bites suggest
- Young Richard is trying to be, so far as he is able, a little low key in the beginning until people have forgotten his little faux pas on the TV, when he said the F1 wasn’t green enough for him.
I don’t have a firm favorite from the above yet but I think things will start to pan out pretty quickly.
