Mercedes Grand Prix is considering withdrawing from Formula 1 because of disagreement between the the director of the team Ross Brawn and the boss of Formula 1 Bernie Ecclestone. The reason for the quarrel between them is the new agreement "Concord", which not only rebelled the spirits in the camp of Mercedes.

81-year-old Ecclestone admitted that he has disagreements with Brown, but said that the team from Stuttgart is "very important mark in Formula 1." "I've always supported them and will continue to do that" said the executive director of Formula 1. Mercedes not only has a own team in the most prestigious automobile championship, but it also is supplying with equipment McLaren team and provides the engines to Force India cars.

According to the information the scandal between Ecclestone and Brown lies in the refusal of the first to include in the "Concord" additional preferences for teams with past successes and titles.

The tension between both Brits apparently reached their peak after recently Formula 1 boss refused to give a joint interview with Brown. "He has never been very good to me," said Ecclestone.
