Brawn Racing, new name for Honda?

According to some sources, it would be Brawn Racing, the team that would replace Honda F1, following the confirmation of its presence in the sport for the 2009 season last week.

Having among her clients the Honda F1 team, lawyer Caroline McGrory reportedly registered two internet domain names, ‘brawnracing.co.uk’ and ‘brawnracing.com’, during the past week.

A potential acquisition of the team by Ross Brawn is a rumor that is increasingly being confirmed, as the first test runs are scheduled to take place on March 5th at the Silverstone circuit.

According to the same sources, a significant budget cut will be implemented to safeguard the team during this tough financial period. Around 300 positions are expected to be eliminated, and for the remaining roles, a major salary reduction is planned, including Jenson Button, the number 1 driver.

It is therefore a good omen that the new measures imposed by Max Mosley would arrive at Brawn Racing.
