I just feel I need to have a little break to recharge my batteries and also to give some other guys, some of the guys with great prospects, an opportunity to show what they can do when they are given the full responsibility,” he said.

However, the plan is for Brawn to return to the team at a later date, and discussions are planned top work toward this end with President, Luca di Montezemolo and newly appointed CEO Jean Todt have agreeing to leave the door open for his return…

"My wish is that next year, in the middle of the year, we'll have a meeting to discuss how I feel about my sabbatical, and how they feel about how the team is running, and if it is possible for me to play a part in it in the future."
