Ross Brawn never doubted!

Comforted in his rights, Ross Brawn can now look to the future with serenity. Probable arrival of Virgin as main sponsor, car very quickly, those who until recently were nicknamed the “miracles of Brackley ”, can once again dream of victory…
Ross, did you doubt?
No. When we arrived here we were certain that our broadcaster was legal and the stewards confirmed that our interpretation of the rules was correct. We respect the right of our competitors to seek the opinion of the FIA ​​and we hope that the matter is now over. I hope that we will leave it there and that the beautiful season that is looming will not be spoiled.
Did you expect this claim?
Our competitors have been very correct and have warned us of their approach. There F1 is a very competitive sport and the introduction of new technical rules always leads to this type of controversy. For our part, we were quite confident since we had certain clarifications from the FIA ​​which showed that we were in compliance with the rules. Our opponents had the same!
Can you now focus on winning?
We will do our best but we don't yet know exactly where we stand. Is it good that this affair is over as it has caused a lot of distraction since we arrived in Melbourne?
Are you afraid that your competitors will appeal the commissioners' decision?
We do not think there is any basis for appeal because our interpretation of the regulation is quite clear. But, obviously, we are not going to explain our interpretation to our competitors. It’s up to them to find the same?
Are you now the team to beat?
No idea! We are happy to be on the pace, the drivers are enthusiastic and everything seems to be going well, but you never know until you have raced the first race. We will be sure tomorrow because, today, the quantities of gasoline on board will still mislead people.
