MPH: Mark Hughes on...
Harking back to a former age
Ross Brawn's takeover of the former Honda team sets up an intriguing scenario. Having an engineer in charge of a team harks back to a former age, a time when Bruce McLaren ran McLaren and Jack Brabham/Ron Tauranac were in charge at Brabham.
It could be great. In one fell swoop many of the limitations of the previous big-budget outfit have dissolved. There is no longer the nightmare of having to coordinate the team base with a parent company over-eager to get involved but without a full understanding of the problems.
