I wouldn't be the surprise. The only reason Ferrari, Mercedes, and Lotus would continue developing their car is not to be fourth. I don't see Lotus having the budget to continue developing and they have one driver that probably doesn't want to help them score any more points. Ferrari and Mercedes have the budget but do they really need the extra money to be second or third or would they rather put all their resources on next year?

Niners and Raiders play that day so Chaplains or other sports bars are out.

I'm going to see if I can host it at home and if that goes down I'll let folks know.

I agree about Lotus. I think Ferrari will spend the money to aim for second and Mercedes will want to focus on next year.

He produces the fastest car on the grid (at certain races in qualifying trim only) and demands 'I want to be the boss' after masterminding Schumi titles and Button fluke....but they cut him loose.

Say what you like about Brawn he has a long and varied history of winning

Lowe is more than capable in producing a good car. But will it be a great car?

I agree with Glen, how much credit for Schumacher goes to Brawn?

He certainly hasn't produced a contender in Mercedes. Its a good car, quick on fresh tires... But no good with the tires worn a bit.

That's what I was thinking. But maybe the 2014 car is pretty developed already...

Agreed. Brawn has got the Merc moving in the right direction and they can him...makes no sense

He's prolly moved aside easy becuase he has a principle position lined up with another company for big money...some say Honda as engine mfr?

He wasn't happy working with Honda. I doubt it, but you never know.

I doubt he's going back to Honda as well. How about McLaren?
