Brawn to Honda?
Rumor mill is churning on this one...supposedly Honda will be announcing that they're bringing on Brawn as a replacement to Fry.
[QUOTE]According to reports in the Telegraph, former technical guru at Ferrari, Ross Brawn, will be unveiled as the new head man at Honda later today, taking over the role from Nick Fry, who will more than willingly take a step back into the role of Chief Executive and hand the reigns over to Brawn to ensure a future winning team.
Ferrari had hoped that Brawn would return to their Maranello based outfit after taking a sabbatical this season, however he wanted the team boss role rather than returning to that of technical director.
However, that role is currently taken by Frenchman Jean Todt, who has made it well known that he has no intention of stepping down anytime soon, especially after the titles were returned to the team this season after two years at Renault.
This will put an end to rumours that brawn and Alonso were headed to Red Bull to make a super team and should help ally Jenson Button

From my point of view RB going to Honda is the best thing that could happen for Honda. Maybe now they will have someone in a leadership position who knows what the hell they are doing. I see this as a major moment in turning Honda around. As far as JB is concerned, as I have said before, it's sort of hard to know just how good or bad he is, because driving a crap car sort of prevents anybody from doing well.

I hope keeping NF does not turn out to be a foolish decision.
Brawn lands Honda post
The 52-year-old has become the team's new principal with Nick Fry continuing as chief executive as they look to arrest a worrying slide that saw Button pick up just six championship points last season, while team-mate Rubens Barrichello failed to get off the mark in a woeful season for the constructor.

HUGE news. I wonder if this could entice FA enough to move to Honda.
Could be a big Christmas gift for Honda Fans. Alonso and his sponsor's money would be nice.
