AFAIK Doug and Paul let their Superlicences lapse a few years back.

An interesting race. Not so much for the action but for the pace of the cars. Brawn clearly no longer have the speed advantage they had before. Red Bull and in specific Vettel are now in terms of race pace, virtually equal and had he not been held up would have won the race. Mclaren and toyota are moving forward fast, and even Ferrari have moved closer. Brawn dont seem to have moved at all. Which leads me to believe their budget has run out for developments or is running very low, and explains why there have been so many sponsor selling points on the shows lately. Maybe Branson will buy us a long term thing, maybe someone will come in with a bigger offer, so on and so on. But if they dont find some money soon that dream start will quickly develop into a mid-field fight for points. Mclaren, Red Bull and Ferrari have all promised new cars between spain and Monaco. Without the inseason testing it could be hit and miss with the new cars but if they are quick out the box then maybe the seasons not quite done yet.

The point being Brawn were tactically more astute, and RBR shouldn't have left Vettel stuck behind Trulli in the middle stint.

Or Brawn are biding their time, and waiting until they feel they really need to before bringing in updates. If the latest news from Branson is to be believed, before too long they'll be the title sponsor. I think with the impressive start to the season, they're seeing how the other teams respond and playing their cards very close to their chest.

Thing is todays race is the sort of thing you'll get all the time from a guy like ross brawn. You dont need to lead from the start he'll get you up front if the car is capable. Worked for ferrari for years, its working for Jenson now. I've said it all along there is no better tactician in motorsport.
Qualifying to me showed Brawn aren't hiding anything. Right now they are no longer years ahead. They've been caught up. If they have got something back in the factory to help it'll be on in spain simple as. Vettel being heavier and faster in quali will have woken them up in a big way.
