If the arrival of Jenson Button within the team McLaren seemed almost done on Tuesday, Ross Brawn has since stepped up to the plate. The team director Mercedes GP? ex-Brawn GP? does not intend to let the 2009 World Champion leave for another team. Moreover, he did not break off discussions with his pilot.

« The negotiations continue and the statements that he has already signed with McLaren do not help us. It would be incredible if that were the case “, he told the daily The Independent. “ His future is with us, Jenson has a good group around him. »

If the two parties have always declared that they wanted to find common ground, it would however seem that Ross Brawn's refusal to meet Button's financial demands ended up tiring the 2009 World Champion. But the arrival of Mercedes in the capital of Brawn GP could be a game changer?
