BRAWN LEAVES FERRARI - OFFICIAL

[Eric Mc]

Just announced.

[rubystone]

No sabbatical either - nor promise of another role

[FourWheelDrift]

Todt becomes Ferrari CEO.


Schumacher to run the team?

[ahonen]

I imagine Kimi's thinking "Oh bugger" about now...

Much as I dislike the bloke, there's little doubt that Brawn's done a heck of a lot for Ferrari.

[williamp]

But will it make that much of a difference? The car wont chnage, the pits wont change. The in-race startegy might, but there are plenty of other strategists around.

Engine guy has left as well

Funny statement in that article:

“Ferrari offers its most heartfelt thanks to Ross Brawn and Paolo Martinelli for their immense contribution in the drafting of an extraordinary chapter in the history of the Scuderia and motor sport, which has produced a tally of 11 world titles (six constructors' and five drivers,' all of these with Michael Schumacher) and of around ninety wins in Formula One Grands Prix,” said the team.

- surely they must know exactly how many F1 wins they got in that period, so why not just state the exact figure?

Brawn has seen the writing on the wall. No Schumacher - no world title in 2007.

Good luck to him (he's a local too )

[bluesatin]

Stig

I thought he did your ultima!

[cooky]

Brawn is to head the new TVR factory works team, TVR has decieded to release it's Brand new top secret 32 valve AJPV8 into LMP and F1.

Carlsberg don't post threads on PH, however if they did.........

Exactly, I think you can safely state that the recent Ferrari success has been whilst he has been at the helm, without Ross they will be struggling IMHO.

Might have something to do with Schumacher having all of his results deleted for an entire season - he did actually win some races, but they don't offically count?

[Lord-Flasheart]

Na Kimi will win it surely in 2007 now that Alonso has moved to Mclaren, Mclaren will be on the pace untill they get an engine faliure.

[FourWheelDrift]

Ok this is the new line up and positions are Ferrari.

Jean Todt - CEO
Mario Almondo - Technical Director (Ross Brawn's old job)
Stefano Domenicali - Sporting Director
Gilles Simon - Head of Engine Development

So as yet no role for Mr Schumacher.

PS. Too many Italians, it's all going to go tit's up

Whazzat?

[FourWheelDrift]

Jean Todt's old role, although he had been doing it anyway. His role is to look like he's been sucking on lemons when things aren't going Ferrari's way and complain to Max and get a rule changed to match Ferrari's Sporting Direction.

Whazzat?

The guy who will tell Kimi and Massa to ram other drivers off the track, park their car on the driving line of a crucial corner, and liaise with FIA to reinterpret rules in Ferrari's favour.
