Nov.12 (GMM) Honda on Monday confirmed that Ross Brawn, Ferrari's former long time technical director, will become team principal in 2008.
The 52-year-old Briton, returning from a one year sabbatical that began in unison with Michael Schumacher's retirement, will have "full responsibility for designing, manufacturing, engineering and racing Honda's formula one car", the Japanese team announced.
Honda confirmed that Nick Fry will stay as chief executive, and operating officer Hiroshi Oshima said Brawn's appointment will allow Fry to "concentrate fully on running the commercial and business aspects of our company".
Brawn will begin work on 26 November.
