It's Official - Ross Brawn to leave Mercedes team

It was confirmed on Thursday (28/11/13) that Ross Brawn will leave Mercedes at the end of the year, formally tendering his resignation as Team Principal. Leadership of the outfit will now be headed up by Executive Directors Toto Wolff and Paddy Lowe.



Ross Brawn has been at the helm of the team since late 2007, playing a key role through their Honda, Brawn GP and most recently Mercedes guises. Ross Brawn will officially leave the team on December 31, with his future plans yet to be determined.

In my opinion, it is a sad decision that Ross Brawn will leave Mercedes at the end with the team, despite the improvements this season in finishing second in the Constructors Championship for Mercedes. Also, winning the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships in 2009 under the Brawn name will be his greatest achievement after Honda left the team at the end of the 2008 season.

So what's next for Ross Brawn? some rumours suggest during the Brazilian Grand Prix a return to Ferrari as their Team Principal perhaps?

Anyway good luck to Ross Brawn in his new chapter after Mercedes.

End of blog for now. New post soon. Bye.
