Rosberg in 2010, Brawn-Mercedes?
Monza - How could the dream of a Star in the Silver Arrow finally come true. Mercedes is working on a master plan appears: The Group buys majority stake of the world customers BrawnGP team, which in turn requires Nico Rosberg (24) of Williams.
The Coronation: The white Wunderflunder by mastermind Ross Brawn will be silver - with a Mercedes star on the nose.
Rosberg in Brawn Mercedes instead initially planned in the McLaren, which would be the end of the long (since 1995) and successful marriage (3 World Cup titles) with the British noble team. But the Swabians (McLaren to keep 40 percent), not only finally more power, but the new Formula 1 Dream Team, they have also come a lot cheaper.
How to run the transaction: The auto, motor und sport reported, Mercedes wants to save on the new Arab partners Aabar Investment Group from Abu Dhabi, 75 percent of Brawn's shares.
And 2011, when the exclusive contract with McLaren ends, contribute to Mercedes. So far, you'll pay a high double-digit millions per year, with significantly less Brawn.
At McLaren we are obviously angry at the German plans. Therefore, the company avoided the all-powerful, despite his banishment from Formula 1 by Ron Dennis veto that Sebastian Vettel's Red Bull team next season can drive with Mercedes engines.
