If JB stayed in Brawn turned Mercedes, and was the one partnered with Nico instead of Schumi then Lewis, do you think Nico would've stayed? Do you think the Mercedes domination could've run longer? 🥹

Okay, so Brawn was an absolute freak accident, to put it politely. It’s the only team to have won 100% of the championships it entered (one). Ross Brawn put his own money into preventing the BAR-Honda team from financially collapsing and making hundreds, if not thousands, if people unemployed. It made sure that Jenson Button and Rubén’s Barrichello could stay in F1. He actually paid only £1 for the team from Honda but financing it for the next year would drain basically all of his money. In many ways it was an act of supreme kindness as Ross Brawn was not the wealthiest of team principles.

Basically he knew he had enough money to finance the team for a year and afterwards it would collapse unless they could find another owner to buy them out. The year was less about winning a championship and more about just keeping a ship afloat. The vice-president of the FIA, in a bizarre moment of kindness for them, actually waived the entry fee for the team. They lost their engine supplied when Honda pulled out but managed to broker a deal with Mercedes (who would buy them out at the end of the year). At one point there were strong rumours that they would have to bring in a pay driver with serious sponsors, I think Bruno Senna was the name floating around, and kick either Jenson or Rubens, but fortunately they stuck to their guns and kept both. They fit KERS in a panic not knowing what it did. They were allocated the final pit lane numbers of 22 and 23.

Basically it was an absolutely insane that they won, especially with a driver that didn’t have a previous WDC. The money from winning could have potentially kept them afloat for one more year but if they didn’t win again they were financially finished. Even the drivers had made other arrangements for the next season, with the blessing of the team, fearing the team would collapse. Rubens had signed on at Williams and Jenson had muscled his way into the McLaren contract earmarked for Nico Rosberg.

Basically, a lot of stuff would have had to happen for it to be Jenson and Nico at Mercedes come 2010. Nico’s contract at McLaren would have had to fall through entirely for other reasons than being poached by Jenson. Jenson would have had to be insane not to have an insurance policy for team collapse. Mercedes also liked the appeal of having two German drivers and the return of Schumacher from retirement (he’d filled in at Ferrari in 2009 for Felipe Massa after his head injury - people forget about that, Felipe Massa had to have brain surgery and almost died) and might not have bought the team at all if it couldn’t sign him.

Hypothetically, you could have had a situation where you had Lewis and Schumi at McLaren (although this would have meant Schumi betraying his Ferrari roots - the McLaren-Ferrari rivalry was going strong at this point) and Jenson and Nico at Mercedes. A further possibility might have been, in the event of Massa’s death or continued ill-health, Jenson at Ferrari with Alonso and Lewis and Nico at McLaren fighting an earlier and weirder silver war.

Mercedes domination wouldn’t have happened any earlier. Fundamentally they needed a few seasons of prep to find their feet and no driver could have made the pre-Turbo-Hybrid car a championship winner.
