Ross Brawn has said that Ferrari must avoid making sudden big changes if they are to challenge for the championship in the near future.

Brawn, who reportedly recently turned down a chance to return to the Maranello squad said that the team ought to stick with current technical director James Allison who is rumoured to be on his way to Renault.

"They've got some very good people there," Brawn told Britain's Sky recently. "James Allison is excellent and if they give him the resources and give him the time, and put the infrastructure around him and great drivers, then they'll achieve success.

"But they mustn't overreact and they mustn't be reactive to what the media is saying," he insisted.

Brawn's tenure at Ferrari came during a period when goings on within the team were closely guarded by former president Luca di Montezemolo and he believes a similar "quiet approach" should be applied now.

"It's very easy to wind up the whole system and then it starts to get reactive rather than proper planning, proper organisation," he said. "It's important that Ferrari still respect what they have to do but they do it progressively and they do it quietly."

Vettel like Schumacher according to Brawn

Brawn also likened Sebastian Vettel's approach to the situation to how Michael Schumacher handled the rebuilding years before his five year title run with the team.

"It would be disastrous if Seb started to criticise the team externally," he said.

"I'm sure if he's anything like Michael he's very strong internally. He's defending the team, he's not being openly critical, he's not winding things up so I think he's taking the right approach," Brawn added.

  • This man speaks sense that isn't currently prevalent at Maranello. Ferrari are a prancing donkey, now go to that corner and cry sucking your lollipops you tifosi clowns.
