Spectacularly, just before the next round of the Formula 1 series, Brawn has announced that their car’s performance is down to the fuel. It’s being run on Brawn, that’s right – jellied pigs head.
Richard Branson, the longhaired, smug Virgin man has long said that he will be involved in Formula 1 if they got their act together and started using environmental foods (I mean Fuels).
Fueltastic!
Brawn, ever the shrewd tactician saw the perfect marketing opportunity to link his name with the car and their new fuel – It all fitted, so the grinner was onboard.
Branson was on board
Brawn, talking about the fuel said, “I got the idea when I was watching Mad Max III, beyond the Thunderdome. They were using pigs to rebuild their shattered society. So I thought, if Tina Turner can use pigs as a power source, so can we!”
“Not only is it a bigger advantage than our diffuser, it also doubles up as a simple food source for our team and drivers (saving money) but it also puts off the other drivers. No longer does our car smell of normal exhaust fumes, it smells ever so slightly of bacon, making other drivers lose concentration and wish wistfully for a bacon butty and a sit down on a Sunday morning.”

This news has got the rest of the teams working hard, looking for alternative fuels. Red Bull is furthest ahead with their Red Bull only powered car (they’re going to get Mark Webber to drink from the tank in later rounds) and McLaren is going to power their car primarily on bitter lemons and limes.
We aren't bitter!
