Brawn might not need The Virgin money anyway as rumour has it that they already have a title sponsor wrapped up for next year. Branson will shift over to the new Manor team.


Mercedes are buying into Brawn (75% although staggered over a few years), and it is widely expected they will eventually become an official Mercedes works team, with a complete name change. Not sure they are to be the title sponsor for next year, although could be a German company as well, hence Rosberg rumoured to be replacing Barrichello. Mclaren are though to be losing Merc engines eventually (although Merc still own a part of the team) and are rumoured to be looking at buying the BMW F1 engine capability and developing their own engine, with technology transfer to their new Mclaren roadcar range.

Why Virgin are going to Manor I do not know (?v cheap), they will be sh*t
