Brawn GP at the reveal in Valencia

For several races, the BGP 01s are no longer as dominant as at the start of the season. If low temperatures in Great Britain and Germany seemed to bother Ross Brawn's cars, the last race held in the Hungarian heat revealed a drop in the performance of the two cars compared to the competition. What will happen in Valencia this weekend where the European Grand Prix will take place?

On a route which should suit the car of Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello, as well as with the Spanish heat, the Brawn GP will no longer be able to hide. “ The team has been working very hard since the mandatory factory shutdown ended and everyone is looking forward to returning to racing this weekend », indicates Ross Brawn.

For his part, Jenson Button, who took advantage of his vacation to complete the London triathlon, knows that the nature of the route will not allow him the slightest relaxation. “ It is a real challenge for the drivers because of the many turns and the fact that there are barriers all around. You must maintain your concentration throughout “, he says. “ At the factory, there was a lot of activity after the mandatory closure. The cars are so close in front that it should be an interesting weekend. »

Finally, Rubens Barrichello is confident before entering the final straight. “ The challenge that a new circuit represents is always exciting and even more so this year. We should be in a much better position to fight for a good result this time around. »
