I wrote a story about Brawn GP a couple of weeks ago for the magazine, which you can read about this week when you buy it, which you should – it’s a good issue, though I would say that, wouldn’t I?

Mercedes-Benz is set to buy a chunk of championship leaders Brawn GP, according to F1’s rumour mill. The German manufacturer already has a long-standing stake in McLaren, and supplies engines to Force India, but it’s apparently keen to tie up something more substantial with the Brackley-based team.
