[QUOTE=mountainstar;3355347]Ross Brawn-Honda-McLaren, it all makes sense to me.

Absolutely, plus Jenson – well acquainted with all parties – for good measure. Whether RD could stomach that is open to conjecture.

Oh I think there would be more to it than team principal whether now or in the future. Or maybe not. Maybe it's time for Ross Brawn to sail into the sunset.

Martin Whitmarsh has left McLaren according to reports. He has reached an agreement with Ron Dennis over his leaving.

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/115578

I wonder will he end up working elsewhere in motorsport or F1?

Surely, this needs to be in the Silly Season thread. Ron Dennis IS McLaren?

I reckon Ron replaced a folder on its shelf one place out of order and felt he had no option but to sack himself on the spot.

Limiting him to just screwing up McLaren sounds like a good move to me.

Can you imagine the response from Ron if this was put to him ? But there may be something in it. What if Honda said we want Alonso in the car for next year [after all they're supposedly paying the driver salaries]... and Ron you need to put the team before yourself ?

Eddie Jordan has been doing a question and answer sesion for fans on the BBC web site. In it he was asked about Alonso's possible moves. In his reply Eddie hinted at possible managment changes at McLaren as part of a move by Alonso. I wonder what that could be? Ron?

First Berger is being touted for the top job and now Alonso is beng put forward as a prospect for team principal. I'm dizzy.

A move by Berger to McLaren may not be out of question according to this article on Crash.net.

First Vettel to Ferrari, then it is Hamilton to Mclaren, now it's Berger to McLaren after 22 years. After what I thought would be a static and decidedly straight silly season, I suddenly find myself livin' in the twilight zone.

I half expect Fangio to pop up next.
