Ross Brawn is expected to leave his position as team principal of Mercedes following their recruitment of McLaren technical director Paddy Lowe.
Lowe is to run the team along with new Mercedes sports boss Toto Wolff from 2014 but he will be employed by McLaren until then on 'gardening leave'.
Brawn will stay on for now, but sources close to Mercedes say he will not continue in the long term.
McLaren have promoted engineering director Tim Goss to replace Lowe.

Oooops!!! Bet that's shook Hamiltons' tree!!  
I suspect that Ross Brawn was one of the prime reasons that Lewis plumped for Mercedes, given Ross' illustrious reputation as a gifted tactician??
How cool would it be if Ross headed over to McLaren after 2014 and worked his magic there ... yes please!! 
Thanks for the post Tom.

interesting,this was spoken about BEFORE the end of last season,and maclaren denied this story,methinks that brat has something to do with paddy going with him,to sort out mercedes,and I think ross would love to go to his old buddy(jenson)and get back to winning ways.(waiting for the flak)   Current builds: SotS, USS Consitution, San Felipe, D51 loco, HMS Surprise, RB7, Arab Dhow, Jotika HMS Victory Completed builds: HMS Pickel, Thermopylae, Mississipi river boat, Mary Rose, Cutty Sark, San Francisco II, HMS Victory x5, Titanic Lifeboat, Panart HMS Victory Launch, Hachette Titanic, Virginia Schooner, Endeavour Longboat. http://www.model-space.com/gb/

Mercedes' new F1 leadership of Niki Lauda and Toto Wolff have certainly made an impact with their first two big decisions - signing Lewis Hamilton and taking on Lowe..

I agree with the both of you too!! I'm not anti Hamilton, and I'm glad when he does well but I do favour the Button (It's even my daughters nick name and I also have a button tattoo'd on my arm ) Yeah it's funny because wasn't it mystic EJ that said this towards the close of the season? For all the predictions he makes they do tend to come to light
