Honda Racing signs former Ferrari F1 technical director Ross Brawn

If you are an F1 fan you will know all the troubles that Honda Racing has gone through with this year’s Formula 1 World Championship, their car has suffered with poor performance and as a result only came 8th. However 2008 could be a turning point for the team as it has been reported that Ross Brawn, the former Ferrari technical director has now been signed by the Japanese team.

This is a great signing for the team and no one could be happier than British driver Jenson Button, who has been very disappointed with the performance of his car this season. Button recently warned Honda that he would leave after 2008 if they could not improve the car, but with Brawn on board Jenson will not have to consider that as Brawn is considered the best in the business.

ITV-F1 reported that Ross Brawn was in talks to rejoin Ferrari after his year sabbatical, but as soon as Honda found out that these talks had broken down they were quick to jump at the chance to sign him.

Will Ross Brawn be able to turn Honda’s fortunes in 2008?
