Brawn GP - Mercedes Benz Buying In?
Well speculation has been rife over the past few days about a rumoured deal with Mercedes. It appears this may be coming to fruition with Mercedes taking an equity share in the team much like they have with McLaren. I have been waiting for some reliable sources to go live with the rumour and now we have one see here: www.autosport.com
'Reports first emerged about the plans this morning in The Daily Telegraph, and sources have confirmed to AUTOSPORT that talks are at an advanced stage for the car company to take a shareholding in the team.'
'Mercedes-Benz itself denied that the plan was for a full-blown buyout of Brawn, but did not rule out an equity-type deal.'
