Renowned team Mercedes, the name change of the defending world champion, Brawn GP, has been officially ratified by the Formula 1 Commission. Any name change must receive unanimous approval from the rest of the teams. The new name was adopted during the Commission meeting yesterday.<\/p>\n
She also decided that Mercedes would receive the money and benefits won by Brawn GP this year. This change of ownership could have been seen as a new transaction, in which case it would not have benefited from Brawn GP.<\/p>\n
