Ross Brawn leaves Ferrari

Today Ferrari has confirmed that Ross Brawn will leave the team at the end of this year. Paolo Martinelli, who was active at the engine department, will also leave the team.

At Ferrari there are some changes for next year. Stefano Domenicali will become Ferrari's Sporting Directory, while Mario Almondo will take over from Ross Brawn to become the team's Technical Director.

In a statement Ferrari said: "Ferrari offers its most heartfelt thanks to Ross Brawn and Paolo Martinelli for their immense contribution in the drafting of an extraordinary chapter in the history of the Scuderia and motor sport, which has produced a tally of eleven world titles (six Constructors' and five Drivers,' all of these with Michael Schumacher) and of around ninety wins in Formula 1 Grands Prix."

"After years of hard and demanding work, Ross Brawn has decided to turn his attention to his personal life, while Paolo Martinelli will take on an important role within the FIAT Group: to them go best wishes for a satisfying future."
