Mercedes staying with McLaren, not denying Brawn rumours



Mercedes-Benz on Sunday reaffirmed its commitment to McLaren, but refused to
deny strengthening speculation of a new formula one foray with the Brawn team.

The Stuttgart marque's entire board was at the Yas Marina Circuit this
weekend, where it was believed stepping back from the McLaren partnership and
moving closer to Brawn were discussed at length.

But McLaren, 40 per cent owned by Mercedes, have an exclusive contract with
the luxury carmaker until 2011, and it seems that will not be dissolved.



"The only decision that is taken is that we are firm, here, partners and are
connected for a long period of time," competition director Norbert Haug is
quoted as saying by the Guardian.



The German would not discuss the speculation about Brawn, amid reports that a
75 per cent team stake will be held by an Abu Dhabi-based Daimler shareholder
until the McLaren contract runs out.

"That these rumours are going around, fine," said Haug. "But my statement
again is that we are 40 per cent shareholders so Mercedes is a large part of
McLaren."

McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh welcomed Haug's comments and similarly did
not deny the speculation about Brawn.

"A lot of the manufacturers are here almost reluctantly or leaving," he said.

"If you've got one that's hustling in, saying 'maybe we should look at other
options, maybe we should do this or that' then that's a passion and
enthusiasm for formula one that makes them such a strong partner," the Briton
added.
