*26* - Sepang The Winners and The Losers

Winner
Brawn GP
If the Brawn does have a deficiency then it looks to be its starting system. Barrichello's was dreadful in Australia and Jenson's wasn't great this Sunday.

That might explain why the team seems to prefers to be heavy in qualifying; if your car is carrying a relatively big load of fuel then a stodgy start off the line doesn't matter as much. A bad start with a low fuel-load, on the other hand, can spell misery.

Losers
Ferrari
Two races, no points, three DNFs. After making a total horlicks in qualifying with Felipe Massa, their 'gamble' of putting Kimi Raikkonen on wets when the track was bone-dry was the sporting equivalent of a game of Russian Roulette with nobody else present.

Just what were they thinking? Were they even thinking?

At the end of last season, Ferrari pledged to cut out the cock-ups in 2009 and improve reliability. So far, all we've seen is enough cock-ups to keep a whore house in business for a calendar year, terrible calls from the pitwall, average driving, an emerging problem with their KERS system, and a catastrophic loss of pace. No wonder Stefano Domenicali sounds worried.

With the knives being sharpened, a twin diffuser can't be produced quickly enough.
