Says Fry personally netted £14.9m from the sale of Brawn to Mercedes - nice piece of change, huh?

If this is true, then good!

Nick Fry kept rolling Honda in the wrong direction.
If it wasn't for Brawn last season would have been a disaster.

I always felt Honda were destined to go downhill the moment they got rid of David Richards, and how right I was. Just never rated Nick Fry as a team manager at all, maybe yes as a race engineer but apart from that, no.

Wonder who'll replace him in his role, maybe Norbert Haug?

Fry previously worked in management and doesn't have an engineering background nor did he study engineering so I have no idea why you think Fry would make a good race engineer

If true, I think leaving is a good move. He was part of the remarkable Brawn world championship winning team and leaves with a great chunk of change, not having to be bothered with the corporate bs that will inevitably become part of the team as Mercedes really begins to take management control.

I'd wait for confirmation from more reliable source.

"Confirmed at pitpass.com" is a contradiction in terms, but I agree such a move would please a lot of people. Not me. Fry should be given more credit for the recent success of the team. It took him two years, but he eventually realised the team was going in the wrong direction under his leadership. He brought in a lot of new people in 2007, including Ross Brawn, what's more, he stepped aside to make room for him at the top. Of all the leaders who are doing a bad job, very few are ready to admit that.
