Brawn: Upgrade will help in Japan

With Brawn GP having introduced a new aerodynamics package at the Singapore Grand Prix last weekend, its Team Principal hopes to benefit more from the new parts at Suzuka. Mathematically, both championship titles can be sewn up by the Brackley outfit this weekend.

With Brawn having topped Singapore's first practice session with both cars, the weekend appeared to be turning pear-shaped although Button and Barrichello eventually finished fifth and sixth to collect a total of seven points.

"I was very pleased with how the team recovered well from a problematic qualifying session in Singapore and came away with further valuable points for the championship challenge," Team Principal Ross Brawn commented.

"We will learn from those experiences and put the lessons in good practice for the final important three races of the season. We were pleased with the performance of the upgrades that we took to Singapore and expect to continue to see the benefits of this package in Suzuka this weekend."
