Brawn has no plans to return, but…

Although Ross Brawn, one of the main players in Ferrari's dominance at the start of the millennium, which saw the team win five consecutive championships, adheres to the principle of "never say never", the Briton denied thoughts of a return to the team from Maranello. Brawn left Formula One at the end of last season and was soon rumored to be returning to the wagon. "I did visit Maranello in May, but it was a completely private visit. We talked about what if... but nothing serious. Since we didn't talk seriously, I don't even think about it," explained 59 -year-old Brawn, who still added: "Never say never, because you never know what opportunities can be offered to you.

Will Honda repeat the 2009 season?

formula 1

Existing manufacturers of Formula One engines (Ferrari, Mercedes, Renault) fear that Honda will have a concrete advantage over them in the 2014 season, as the freeze on engine development will not apply to the Japanese until the 2015 season, when they will officially enter Formula One. . At Honda, they said they are worried, as they are expected to fall behind the other manufacturers, who will gain experience with the new 2014-liter turbo engines on the track throughout the 1.6 season. But the three current manufacturers will have to homologate their engines by February 28, and from then on the engine will no longer be allowed to change due to the freeze on engine development, unless there are changes that are supposed to provide greater reliability.

When Honda decided to leave Formula One, Jenson Button’s managers began frantically looking for a seat on the other teams. Later, the rest of the team was bought by Ross Brawn, who kept Jenson Button, who at the end of the 2009 season secured both titles for the team. “He got an offer from Brown at the last minute, but I remember his managers asking for a seat at Toro Ross,” said Horner, who admitted Button left a positive impression on him after he became champion and switched to McLarn. "Suddenly, the team was no longer just Lewis. Maybe the relationship between McLarn and Hamilton broke down. He doesn't know.
