Mercedes bought out Formula One world champions Brawn GP on Monday. The buyout is likely to see newly crowned champion Jenson Button join McLaren next season.
The German car giant, which has taken a 75 percent stake in Ross Brawn's team, will be rebranded Mercedes GP. The purchase of the Brackley-based Brawn team was funded by Mercedes' parent company, Daimler AG, and the Abu Dhabi investment fund Aabar, Daimler's largest shareholder.
Team principal Ross Brawn, who took over the British-based outfit after former owners Honda quit the sport at the end of 2008,will remain in his role.
Brawn it was who masterminded the team's spectacular rise from the dark days of Honda's pull-out to both the constructors and drivers' world titles.
In a statement, Ross Brawn said: "From fighting for our survival to forging a strong relationship with Mercedes. winning both the constructors and drivers world championships, and now accepting Aabar and Daimler's offer to buy our team which will secure its future."
Button is widely tipped to sign for the British team to drive in an all-English partnership with 2008 champion Lewis Hamilton next year.
Button's 2009 teammate Rubens Barichello this month signed to drive for Williams.
The new outfit are expected to take in Nico Rosberg as their number one driver, a move that would be popular in Germany, with his countryman Nick Heidfeld his likely partner.
Neither driver has been confirmed although on Sunday Mercedes Sports boss Norbert Haug revealed he was attempting to secure Heidfeld, who has driven for BMW since 2006.
Since clinching the title in Brazil last month Button has been in protracted contract negotiations with Brawn, the 29-year-old reportedly turning down a four million pound offer.
That represents one million rise on his 2009 salary after he took a five million pound pay cut when Ross Brawn took over from Honda.
As part of Monday's deal Daimler AG has given up its 40 percent stake in McLaren but Mercedes will continue to supply engines to the team for the next six seasons.
