Feb.21 (GMM) Mere days after he admitted that becoming Ferrari's team boss would be considered "an option", Ross Brawn is being linked with a possible switch to the McLaren team.
The rumour has emerged in the German publication Sport Bild, which claims that the Mercedes-powered camp might be on the lookout for a successor for Ron Dennis.
Mercedes' parent company DaimlerChrysler is reportedly looking to buy the rest of Dennis' personal stake in Woking based McLaren, after the Briton sold half to a Bahrain company.
It has been suggested that Dennis, who is approaching his sixtieth birthday, might shift his allegiance to Prodrive as the likelihood increases that David Richards' new entrant will use McLaren cars and a Mercedes engine in 2008.
Sport Bild added that Dennis may be negotiating with Richards to buy up to 70 per cent of the Prodrive grand prix team.
Brawn, 52, is this year taking a 'sabbatical', after following Michael Schumacher from Benetton to Ferrari in 1996 and serving as technical director ever since.
