Something rare happens in the padock of Formula 1 since as he has promised to be Mercedes-Benz, who as you know has a good percentage in McLaren has just bought neither more nor less than 75 % of the racing team Brawn GP.

So far well, but: what sense does this have? The truth, if I belonged to the racing team McLaren me would fall into a tremble, especially after knowing that the company has designated new name to Brawn GP that from now on Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix will happen to call herself.

The truth, this name is very well and is logical, but it is still possible to shell moreover this news since according to declarations of Dr Dieter Zetsche this new team will happen to be the official team of Mercedes with what McLaren will turn into another team of those who mount engines Mercedes.

On the team, as we could have understood they will be provided with Button as principal pilot whom his current world title endorses and with Nico Rosberg as the second pilot thanks to his German roots while other entities of the mark as Ross Brawn and Nick Fry remain in his control positions.

Well, this is everything official that has been offered from Mercedes-Benz, with what certainly the racing team sure McLaren will not be very calm. At least Mercedes has renewed to them the contract of supply of engines until 2015 although, on the other hand, to emphasize that this happened before the nonCosta Rican Brawn was becoming official.
