DaimlerChrysler to take full control of Ilmor
Before the end of year Mercedes will have full control of Illmor. They already have a controlling stake so it isn't that much of a surprise, but it is a little things that seems to indicate that F1 is still a long term plan for Mercedes.
As an aside the Indycar engine side will be sold of to Penske, Illien and (Mrs) Morgan. |

Interesting that Penske's buying the IndyCar side - he runs Toyotas in his cars, while Ilmor makes the Honda IndyCar engine.
In terms of F1 - Mercedes have impressed me this year in terms of power and reliability. |

GrandPrix.com have the story too.
http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns14939.html Does this mean that Mario Illien will no longer be involved in F1 engine design? |

As far as I know, Ilien had been eased out of a hands on designing role for this years engine and next year's V8
