Yup good news, but still rumours of up to 350 jobs being lost

Not good times in motorsport at the moment :!:

Great to see another team kept in F1, initially i thought Branson was going to save honda! Brawn has some series credentials behind him so at least its in safe hands!

Great news. Would have been a shame to only have 18 cars on the grid.

Brawn has a wealth of knowledge and experience and his tactical mind is second to none.

Good luck Brawn GP.

quote Brawn has a wealth of knowledge and experience and his tactical mind is second to none.

Ross Brawn used to be a client of mine when he was at Benetton and when he first went to Ferrari and yes is a very tallented guy. I just think its a shame they opted to keep Button, i think the better choice would of been Barricello for experience and Senna for enthusiasm and desire to succeed. Button has had his chances and opportunity when at Williams but failed to utilise the tools available to him (i.e. a winning car). I feel he will continue and finish his F1 career as nothing more than an ""also ran"".
