Ferrari wants Ross Brawn back, the team’s new boss Marco Mattiacci has made clear.<\/p>\n
Briton Brawn stepped down as Mercedes’ team boss last year, but before that he had been Maranello’s authoritative technical director during the ultra-successful Michael Schumacher era.<\/p>\n
Mattiacci, who replaced Stefano Domenicali early this year, told CNN that he has had talks “several times” with Brawn recently.<\/p>\n
“Everyone would like to have Ross or would like to see Ross back at Ferrari,” he said.<\/p>\n
“He’s one of the most respected personalities in F1 with the highest knowledge and pedigree.\u00a0 Everybody would be happy with someone like Ross.”<\/p>\n
Earlier, Brawn and Ferrari played down a visit the 59-year-old made recently to Maranello.<\/p>\n
But Mattiacci has now admitted it was “very nice to spend a few minutes” with Brawn at the time.<\/p>\n
Asked to rate out of ten his chances of securing Brawn for 2015, he insisted: “I don’t like to do that kind of game.<\/p>\n
“I think I have to work with what I have, not what eventually I will have.<\/p>\n
“James (Allison) is the technical director and I want to start from this point.\u00a0 To tango you have to have two,” Mattiacci added.<\/p>\n
“Maybe Ross is happy with what he is doing.”<\/p>\n
