better late than never!

I thought Ross Brawn would have just jumped ship to the highest bidder as soon as Honda announced they were selling up! Hey ho.

Don't they have to sell them as part of their agreement to supply standard engines to F1?
I can't really remember how that panned out so I could be wrong

Who better to supply engines to than the former principal man of your number 1 rival? Ross Brawn is widely regarded as the best technical director out there, I'd have thought all manufacturers would be queueing up to supply him engines!

For him to strip and analyse? No thanks. Unless they are sealed units? Or.....they (Mclaren) are hoping to land him next?
