First he warned Jenson Button not to leave his position within the Brawn GP organization - soon to become Silver Arrows F1 - for a place at Woking, now he sticks by his argument and publicly tells the reigning F1 champion that he did a mistake when going for the McLaren Mercedes money.Yes, we are talking about triple-crowned F1 champion Sir Jackie Stewart.

Even if they do prepare him a title-winning car next year, McLaren will most certainly make it more difficult for Button to outscore fellow countryman Lewis Hamilton. Two British champions driving for a British team is surely a dream come true for most of the UK racing fans, but it won’t keep sparks from igniting during Button’s stay at McLaren - as we believe Hamilton will be there for life.

Red Bull crushed the championship leaders at Silverstone, but a double-dose of car improvements has Brawn GP hopeful of fighting for the German Grand Prix crown next weekend.

Team owner and boss Ross Brawn has revealed that some new pieces are scheduled to be added to the BGP 001 car at the Nurburgring.

Moreover, some improvements that had been taken to the British Grand Prix were not used at the decisive moments at Silverstone, after the Brackley-based team struck a fundamental problem getting the tyres up to temperature on the circuit.

“With the confusion over the tyres, we didn’t run some new pieces we had because Friday (at Silverstone) was very difficult with the tyre temperature,” Brawn is quoted as saying by the Telegraph.

“We couldn’t determine how the new bits were working, so we decided to avoid confusion and went back to what we had in Turkey.

“So we’ve got those bits and we have some new improvements for the Nurburgring,” the Briton added.

Having won six of the opening seven races of 2009, Jenson Button’s points lead was reduced to 23 points in Britain, while Sebastian Vettel dominated and won from pole at the wheel of a new-look Red Bull.
