    http://edition.cnn.com/2011/SPORT/mo...t.f1.red.bull/
    German car manufacturer Mercedes completed a takeover of the rebranded Brawn GP Formula One team on Monday, after its parent company Deimler acquired all remaining shares from team principal Ross Brawn and his management partners.

    In collaboration with its largest shareholder Aabar, Deimler purchased the remaining 24.9% of the team, which is now known as Mercedes GP.

    The sceptic in my asks, how many years of underperforming will Mercedes afford before quitting F1, following the likes of Honda, BMW, Toyota and Renault.

    I agree

    They may bring in the bigger bucks but in the long term don't do much for F1.
