Ferrari:the only team I have discussed my future; Ross Brawn answers the speculation

Autosport.com - Brawn denies link with rival teams

Former Ferrari technical director Ross Brawn has rejected suggestions that he has considered joining any other team than the Italian squad after he ends his sabbatical next year.

Brawn left Ferrari at the end of 2006 after ten years as the team's technical director, and he has recently begun discussions about a possible return to the team in the future.

Former Ferrari engineer Nigel Stepney, sacked by the team this year amid accusations of sabotage and espionage, suggested earlier this week that Brawn was part of a group of people interested in leaving Ferrari for another team.


I think Ross' heart in genuinely with Ferrari and he wouldn't want to work for another team. But having said that, if he went out and joined another team he could prove that he has the magic touch and is not just part of a good team like he was at Benetton and Ferrari

When Ross left for his gardening leave, he doubtless committed himself on paper to Ferrari. They simply would not have let him go otherwise. If Brawn returns to F1, it will be to Ferrari - but that is a big if. Remember Mika Hakkinen said he would return to F1 after one year, and here we are in 2007 and the closest he's been is getting into a sauna with Alonso and Hamilton. And his test in the winter.

"Following recent media reportage of my situation and the background and the reasons for my sabbatical I thought it might be helpful to re-confirm my position," Brawn told autosport.com.

"The reasons for taking a sabbatical year from Ferrari were purely personal. After 30 years in motor racing I wanted to devote time to my family and pursue some personal ambitions that time had not allowed.

"Whilst, I am pleased to say, Ferrari was disappointed with my decision, they understood my reasons and asked me to discuss future options with them when I was ready to return to motor racing.

"We have now begun these discussions to see if the requirements of Ferrari and my ambitions might match and to see if there is a possibility of working together in the future.

"After ten fantastic years, the people and culture of Ferrari and Italy is in my blood and Ferrari is my team. Ferrari is the only team or group I have discussed my future with.

"Any reports linking me with other teams or projects are either inaccurate or speculation."


As a Ferrari fan, that is music to my ears <thumbsup>
