Mercedes no comment to Brawn buyout 'rumours'

Monday 7 September at 19:59 : Sep.7 (GMM) Mercedes-Benz on Monday did
not deny reports it is set to buy into the formula one team Brawn GP

The German marque already owns 40 per cent of McLaren and also
supplies the Force India team

A McLaren spokesman responded earlier on Monday that the Woking based
team is supportive its partner's collaborations with other F1
competitors but expected its own Mercedes association to continue

"Our cooperation with various formula one teams obviously gives rise
to various rumours," a motor sport spokesman for Mercedes is quoted as
saying by the news agency Reuters

"Nevertheless, we would like to ask for your understanding that our
company in principle is not in a position to comment on rumours

"The facts are that we have long-term contracts with partner McLaren
with whom we won the last F1 championship," he added

A spokeswoman for Brackley based Brawn did not comment
