Hmm... maybe everyone else has also realized that just because he was involved in the amazing BrawnGP story, doesn't mean anyone forgot what a tool he has been prior to RB making things happen.

About time too.

As for merc taking control slowly, why would they need anything more than a hand over period? Merc and Aabar own 75% with Ross retaining 25% (down from 54%).

Management seldom stay after a takeover.

Perhaps Nick's Shampoo-deal was a little too much for the suits, but he can try for a job with Prodrive next year?

Jumping the gun a bit aren't they?

Nick Fry is no longer a shareholder = he is no longer employed by the team?

For a man who in theory left as soon as Mercedes bought into the team last year, he was rather visible at the team's launch.

The article says he's resigned according to filed company documents.

yeh, rite

and they end up rubber-stamping bizarre and out-of-the-world regulations for F1 to "punish" the team for that they were treated like and end up spoiling the whole show :wtf:

Damn, and we didn't even have to sign a petition! I couldn't see him lasting after the cock-up with the wash'n'go. Mercedes do have some sense after all.

Resigned as a director, not necessarily as an employee.

Why would he hang around?

He's banked £14m....might as well go have some fun and see if he can get the top job somewhere else...I doubt he'd really want to stick around after resigning from the board!!

Then there is the reality of the situation:
http://www.formula1blog.com/2010/02/16/ ... sseiny-in/
Nick Fry and four other directors at the former Brawn GP have left the new Mercedes GP to make way for new team members from Daimler and Aabar Investments, the two companies who bought out the championship-winning Brawn GP team during the off season. According to a list of documents filed on February 5 through Companies House, which is “an Executive Agency of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS)” of the government, wherein all companies in the UK must be registered, Fry, Gordon Blair, Nigel Kerr, Caroline McGrory, and John Marsden were all “terminated” (the legal term, as no word is yet available on the circumstances of the change) as directors for the UK-based company and Mohamed Badawy Al-Husseiny, Norbert Haug, Dr. Joachim Schmidt, Dr. Thomas Weber, and David John Forbes were appointed in their stead.
