Australia: Brawn GP car is 'absurdly superior'

The new Brawn GP car will disappear from the front of the grid and go on to win in Melbourne, says Frank Williams who believes the BGP 001 to be 'absurdly superior' to every other car in the Australian Grand Prix.
"Ross [Brawn] started to work for us as a junior in the little wind tunnel," Frank Williams told the Daily Express. "He just made his own career and pulled himself up by his bootstraps, and now has great knowledge from his time at Ferrari.
"It is no accident that their new car is absurdly superior - they are making the rest of us look like amateurs. In Australia they will disappear on the basis of what we have seen in testing. I just hope we can be up there, too."
Jenson Button is currently second favourite to win at our partners at SportingBet.com, with Rubens Barrichello fifth. Favourite, surprisingly, is Renault's Fernando Alonso.
