TBH even a £1 million discount would probably have been accepted.

He starts his job on June 3rd. Welcome Paddy

I expect Mercedes paid his contract off.

It will be interesting to see what this means for Brawn...

It will mean nothing

Brawn will still be there next year.

In what capacity though? Don't Mercedes have what, 8 people now who could potentially do the team principle role?

I just hope they don't do a Toyota and spend all the money and achieve very little. You'd think with half the grids F1 expertise on board they could figure out why they chew through tyres so quickly

I just confused myself by mixing my analogies and read that as to many chefs, and wondered what the heck was going on

Read the link. Are you asking or telling me? You just concentrate on McLaren they need all the help they can

You mean the article saying he will be joining them in June after everyone was told it wouldn't be till next year?

Don't believe everything you read. Brawns role is not safe. The rumours of him joining Ferrari didn't spring from nowhere.

Man city are the 9th richest team so WRONG AGAIN and the rest of your post well just shows how very little you know about football and F1

And Real Madrid is the richest with Man U second.

Maybe Merc. are trying to get as many technical chiefs together then trade them in for 1 x Adrian Newey
