Apologies, not able to link from my iPhone but story confirmed over at pitpass.com if someone else is able and willing to post the link please......

Says Fry personally netted £14.9m from the sale of Brawn to Mercedes - nice piece of change, huh?

If this is true, then good!

Nick Fry kept rolling Honda in the wrong direction.
If it wasn't for Brawn last season would have been a disaster.

ditto

I always felt Honda were destined to go downhill the moment they got rid of David Richards, and how right I was. Just never rated Nick Fry as a team manager at all, maybe yes as a race engineer but apart from that, no.

Wonder who'll replace him in his role, maybe Norbert Haug?

Fry previously worked in management and doesn't have an engineering background nor did he study engineering so I have no idea why you think Fry would make a good race engineer

If true, I think leaving is a good move. He was part of the remarkable Brawn world championship winning team and leaves with a great chunk of change, not having to be bothered with the corporate bs that will inevitably become part of the team as Mercedes really begins to take management control.

I don't think we know enough about his role to make this judgement. Sure he was team manager during their uncompetitive spell, but he had no input into the technical direction of the team as far as I'm aware. To me he does appear to be of weaker character to say Ross Brawn, but always seemed to be a nicer nice chap in comparison. Maybe he's not ruthless enough for such a position of demand?

"Confirmed at pitpass.com" is a contradiction in terms, but I agree such a move would please a lot of people. Not me. Fry should be given more credit for the recent success of the team. It took him two years, but he eventually realised the team was going in the wrong direction under his leadership. He brought in a lot of new people in 2007, including Ross Brawn, what's more, he stepped aside to make room for him at the top. Of all the leaders who are doing a bad job, very few are ready to admit that.

Agreed. He was instrumental in saving the team and if he leaves then, good for him.

Question is, did he walk or was he pushed?

That article is coming up 'blank' for me now and is not listed amongst the Pitpass headlines.

Just because he (and others) have stepped down as directors does not mean that they have left the company.

They can still stay in their roles, but without the shareholdings that they held.....

Looks like Balfe has to eat sh!t, again.
How very amusing.

[Ilaubuas]

They've updated the story now, it says that Fry (and some other Brawn directors) have resigned from the board to make way for some new directors from Mercedes and Aabar. Fry remains CEO. Rather unusual to have a CEO who is not on the board of directors.

Looks like someone at Pitpass added two and two and got 5!
