It strikes me as crazy that a team that's leading the world championship has so little sponsorship. Brawn GP have done small deals with Graham, Gieves & Hawkes and one or two others in recent months, but all those deals are tiny. Virgin too is only worth a reported $250,000 a race, and they're off to Manor next year.
Honda wrote a cheque at the beginning of the year which would be enough for the team to live on this year, but what about next year? The fact is, despite campaigning for the title, the team are trying to cut costs wherever they can.
This is Jenson Button's scooter. Note the tax disc is out of date - and it only costs £15 to renew it.
