The former Ferrari technical director took advantage of Michael Schumacher's retirement to step back from life on the front line and take a year out of Formula One, but his absence from Maranello has set tongues wagging with regard to possible future involvement.
Both Honda and McLaren have been touted as alternative employers should Brawn opt to return to the fray in 2008, although the man himself insists that Ferrari will be his first port of call. "In July, I will make a decision," he was quoted as saying by as.com, "Before that, I have to speak with Ferrari and, if I do not arrive at an agreement with them and the desire to continue still burns, I will begin to think about other options."I do not think Brawn will come to an agreement. He can go to any team on the grid and simply name his price. Brawn is a genius and Ferrari will fail to appreciate his talent.
I predict Brawn to McLaren.
