Well, maybe Merc will give up and sell it to him for a dollar, then he will name it Brawn and win the titles.

OR maybe he will get in Caterham be either buying it or by being appointed technical director, make it such a powerhouse that Lotus switches its sponsorship there, and the team changes its name to Lotus.

Those are the only two realistic scenarios

Been away for the weekend, so dont know what Ive missed, so apologies if this has been posted already, but Brawn has finally confirmed he will be taking a year out, and deciding his future next Summer.....

Honda McLaren anyone?

[Jabberwocky]

On the F1 show he just avoided answering the question. Saying "We will make an announcement in good time"

[Jabberwocky]

I would like to see him go to Williams, it is where he started in F1

[CookinFlat6]

He wants to be the main man. Too many people at Williams, he would be in the shadow of FW, and his daughter and the main shareholders. He would want to part own a team answering only to his partners who are preferably investors he only sees in the boardroom

Why would he after all he has done and at his age, (and with his money) want to be employed at a team? being a TP comes with a lot of travelling and stress, and when you add politics within the organisation. these are all the things he has said he wants to get away from.

I have a strong feeling McLaren has got his name all over it and is ripe for him to get everything he wants. He would get a knighthood for returning Mclaren to the former glories
Or maybe a peerage
Sir Ross or Lord Brawn of Woking

Naaaa Williams is where you want to go Ross! LOOK INTO MY EYES!

I think McLaren are calling our for him, Whitmarsh has had his chance really.

A year out and then Honda

Then maybe Lewis will consider a return to the fold, maybe with a couple more WDC's under his belt.

[CookinFlat6]

If Hondas engine turns out really well then I'm sure Ross will persuade him to come back after his Merc WDCs. And then once he wins another couple will finally get his hands on that yellow mclaren f1 promised him.
I am sure after the clear out of the lame McLaren will have a new era

Wasn't one of the main motivations for Lewis moving in the first place Brawn?

One of the motivations, not the only one. Winning for another team, the position Merc were in to take advantage of the rule change, being fed up of the way things were at McLaren....those were some more.

Wanting away from Whitmarshs team first
The advantage of being with a rich engine maker for the 2014 era second
Having a competent and racing focussed TP third
Dragging a mid grid team to the front fourth

IMHO
