Ross Brawn denies the latest rumours about his potential return to F1.

Ross Brawn has denied the latest rumours about his potential return to Formula 1.

Some Hockenheim-bound members of the sport's travelling circus spotted the former Ferrari and Mercedes man on the same flight from London to Frankfurt early on Thursday.

It triggered wild speculation that Brawn, 61, could come out of retirement to replace James Allison at Ferrari.

However RTL, the German broadcaster, reports that the rumours were wide of the mark, as Brawn was in fact en route to Marburg, on the other side of Frankfurt, for the opening of a Michael Schumacher exhibition.
