Ross Brawn to leave Mercedes
Discussion
Who can tell? I'd be surprised if Ross Brawn is at the stage of his career where he wants the challenge of trying to bring a struggling team back on to its feet (Williams) as no doubt the challenges are many fold. (Money, Technical, Management etc)
I'd be surprised if it didn't concern the likes of Hamilton. A key player like Ross Brawn is a big 'Chess Piece' to lose from a team.

I believe (but no hard facts beyond the fact that he chose to avoid a question asked by a friend recently) that he has bought Wolff's Williams shares. I have long thought that he would be a great CEO for the team, reuniting with Pat Symonds as COO. FW can become Chairman and they can take Claire under their wings for succession.
I'd love to see that happen.
Ross loves his cars and his fishing. I am not sure he'd really want the aggravation that he might get with McLaren Honda. Ironically, given what happened, I am not sure that Honda would want that reunion either.
However, Ron Dennis is a racer through and through and would stop at nothing to put a dream team together. If there was a sniff of a Brawn/Alonso/Honda alliance in 2015 (or even 2014) I think he'll be all over it.
The next 3 months are going to be fascinating for the driver/team market and I truly believe that a lot of the major moves have not been planned out yet.

Surely with Williams being a listed company wouldn't any share dealing of this size have to be announced to the stock market (in Germany?).n3il123 said:
