Not once.Westbrook opened the season with 32 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists against the Philadelphia 76ers, and then followed that up with 51 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists against the Phoenix Suns. The Thunder are 3-0.What really amazes me is, because of his ability to impact the game in so many different ways, hes going to always have numbers, Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. But with that being said, what amazes me is the heart and the passion and the competitiveness and the fire he plays with every single night. I think its extremely rare. Its incredible. Thats what really amazes me.Westbrook attempted a career-high 44 shots in Fridays win over the Suns, but dialed back to 21 attempts on Sunday.

This week he confirmed that he has been advising the sports new investors Liberty Media about the workings of Formula One, but says his current involvement ends there.Ive given a little advice to Liberty Media on Formula One, because they wanted to have a perspective on the business from someone who has been involved and someone who is not involved in a team anymore, Brawn told ESPN. I didnt have any angles or axes to grind, it was just my view on Formula One and the characters involved and teams etcetera.Could that role evolve into something more when Liberty completes its purchase of Formula One early next year?Its always Libertys decision, but there has been no serious discussion, Brawn says. Ive given them some help to understand Formula One a bit more and they have to complete the transaction and then see what happens. I think they recognise that Bernie is a pretty key element in all of this, because of the relationships, experience and the knowledge, so I think Liberty appear to be a very sensible company and they are going to proceed cautiously.But I hope they take on-board the idea of creating a plan for the future, which is contributed to by a number of elements. What do we want Formula One to look like in three to five years time? Are the criticisms that are made today fair and can they be addressed? Everyone wants to see more racing, but how much more racing do you want to see because you can have too much of a good thing -- it can seriously get boring if its there every week and it never changes.The rumours about Brawn returning to the sport in a rule-making capacity extend back to 2015 when Red Bull boss Christian Horner put the ex-Mercedes team principal forward as a candidate to oversee the changes to the regulations for 2017. Brawn was not a part of those changes in the end, but the idea of a job guiding the direction of the sport via its regulatory body the FIA does hold some appeal.Thats possible. If that became the best channel to influence and be part of a better Formula One then its not out of the question. Its not my natural environment if Im honest, but thats not a criticism oof the FIA, its a criticism of me!That may be a possibility for the future, who knows? I think when the dust settles and we see whats going to happen and on what time scale, then we can make better judgements on if I get involved and in what capacity.ddddddddddddut Brawn is clear on one thing: if he does return to Formula One, the sport has to be willing to put a long-term plan in place.I think one of the frustrations for me is that there never seemed to be a plan and everything was reactive. Therefore, I think it would be good for Formula One to try to formulate a plan and a strategy of where it wants to be in three years time or five years time.Formula One has a very impressive engine at the moment, but is that the engine for the future and where does that go? Whats going to be the engine in five years time? Is there going to be another engine and do we know what it is? If there is another engine in five years time that process needs to start soon with maybe some slightly different objectives to this engine. This engine right now is incredible, but its quite expensive and makes it difficult for the smaller teams. Can we produce an equally impressive technical challenge but make it more viable for the smaller teams?Its those sorts of things, and if you set those objectives now you wont do it next year, but maybe in three years time or five years time you will succeed. That plan can be adjusted like all plans, but at least start getting down with all the stakeholders -- the broadcasters, the promoters of the circuits, the teams, the media, journalists and the fans to understand what they want to see -- and then build that plan, debate it, structure it and see what comes out.I dont think thats been done yet in Formula One, I think its been more reactive to problems. [For example, we say] the audiences are falling, so wed better change something, change qualifying! and we saw what happened there. It wasnt a great success.And then its Mercedes are dominating, wed better change the rules. Well, perhaps thats a solution, but where do we want Formula One to be in three to five years time? Do we know? Maybe we dont know. But it would seem a better process than waiting to see where we are in three to five years time.Interview conducted by Jennie Gow ' ' '
