Ross Brawn worked at Honda all last season and continued working on the car even after Honda pulled out. Like BMW, Red Bull and Toyota they started work on this year's much earlier than other teams who still had title contenders - with this year's ban on testing it puts those teams in an advantageous position.
Ross Brawn and Adrian Newey were arguably what made Benetton then Ferrari and Williams then McLaren great in the 90s and 00s respectively. Now they are the head techs at Brawn and Red Bull.
Brawn were Honda, who were BAR, who were Tyrell. Red Bull were Jaguar(Ford) who were Stewart(Ford). Severing all ties though, Brawn use the Mercedes engines which Lewis won with last year and Red Bull use new Renault engines which they have been allowed to "equalise" to match their competitor's horsepower.
In other news, Kovalainen and Kubica FTL, again. Jensen and Heidfeld replace them.

Interesting fact, Brawn bought the Honda team for 1 euro and got $100,000 for buying it.

Hence it has been demoted to an interesting fact.

Teams need to be resubmitted before the next race to score points, although I'm not sure why.

You have to do it within 2 hours 5 minutes of right now. It's because points were reset after the first two race, which are counted as "practice races".

And done! Team 'Flexible Diffuser' is waiting for acceptance in the league.
(Although, building a team out of Button, barrichello, Glock, BrawnGP, and mercedes brawn GP may have been a bit cheesy....)

As a side bet, I will try to guess the number of times someone says "For Sure" in the main qualifying and race programmes.

Hurrah! I win and you all crash into the back of Trulli on the first lap, are sacked and replaced by a fat german with a dodgy neck. Also you are hit on the bonce by a spring and accuse your entire team of cheating. Like any of that would happen.
