The FIA said no replacement could be considered so close to the start of the season.
Surely Brawn GP weren't officially on the 2009 entry list until a matter of weeks before the first round?!
I think its daft. They have Villeneuve almost certainly (adds credibility), Kazuki Nakajima (another driver with more than a years experience) and the equipment Toyota used last year, plus the backing of a GOVERNMENT (which I thought Bernie Ecclestone would've loved considering his "links" with Labour).
Just shows that Bernie is a very elitist person. Why is he so set on a US team when there isn't a US Grand Prix anymore (practically down to him anyway!!)
