Interesting interview with Brawn, which actually creates a lot of questions and uncertainties.

He mentiones that the main priority is to save the jobs at Brackley, not his own job - is it a hint that (some of) the potential new owners are interested in putting their own people to the leading positions of the Brackley outfit, which could mean that Brawn has to step down? (obviously Fry so too)

In December Brawn was still talking that ex-Honda is going to win races in 2009. Now he is admitting that it's gonna be a "difficult" and a "transitional" year - pretty much as expected, I'd say.

It looks like Honda won't give their engines, which means that even rebadged engines might be out of question - or at least this is how I interpret the quote. Does it mean Honda's KERS won't be used either? If we combine these factors, then no surprise this is certainly gonna be a difficult season. Ferrari engine or not, Magnetti Marelli is struggling with KERS...

Interesting that Brawn has denied the Slim rumours...
