Rosberg and Hamilton thank 'legend' Brawn
Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton have paid tribute to outgoing Mercedes team principal Ross Brawn, with Hamilton calling him a "legend".
Brawn will leave Mercedes at the end of 2013, with executive director (business) Toto Wolff and executive director (technical) Paddy Lowe taking over responsibilities. Both Rosberg and Hamilton have taken to Twitter to thank Brawn for his work with the team, describing him as "a great leader" but giving their backing to the new partnership.
Massive thanks to Ross Brawn. He's been a great leader and teacher for me. Ross has built the foundations for us to succeed in 2014! #Legend
