After Jenson clinched the title, I was having mixed feelings. Sad coz, I always want Raikonen's name there. Happy coz, Brawn have made it there. I still remember the early days of this year. There was this team, who doesnt know whether they are going to be there in F1 and now without them F1 2009 would have been nothing.
As Brawn said in the interview to Autosport:
The fact that ten months ago, the team didn't exist. We had a team of people who worked through a whole winter not knowing if they had a future. But they still worked 60 or 70 hours a week whatever it took.

Survival was the first objective. Genuinely survival. Get to the first race and start to try to put the thing on its feet. See if we can start to find funding for the future because funding was there, but only for a year.
Survival was the first thought. You go through all these different phases. The first phase was survival. Then because Nick Fry, myself and other members of the management were totally absorbed in trying to keep the company going, in the background all the other management were trying to progress the technical side, and producing the car we had.
These are the words of the Legend called Ross Brawn.
