Ross Brawn states that he has no plans to step down as Mercedes team principal at the end of this year even though his presumed replacement Paddy Lowe has arrived.

Lowe came to the team from McLaren this year and is on standby to take over the reins when Brawn decides to call time on his career. But with a new engine formula for 2014 and Mercedes recent improvement in form, Brawn says he is not going anywhere soon.
“We’re in good shape for next year. I wouldn’t want to miss the fun,” Brawn was quoted by BBC Sport.
“This is a big regulation change – and the full package of the car; not just aerodynamics like we’ve had before. If you didn’t start on it a year ago, you’re in trouble.”
Lowe, who made his first race appearance with the team in Silverstone, is prepared to wait until Brawn stands aside. – ESPN
