Ross Brawn has told Sky Sports he would be prepared to work alongside Bernie Ecclestone as a new boss of Formula 1. Brawn, the mastermind behind Mercedes current domination of the sport and a key figure in Michael Schumachers record-breaking success, has been in talks with Liberty Media as the group prepare to complete their takeover of F1.Although Brawn has insisted reports he has agreed to become the sports new chief executive are wide of the mark, he has admitted to Sky Sports he would get pleasure from trying to help Formula 1 move forward and revealed he is open to filling a role alongside Ecclestone, F1s current supremo. Brawns interview with Natalie Pinkham can be seen in a special edition of The F1 Report on Wednesday night at 9pm. Asked directly whether he could return to F1 in a dream team partnership alongside marketing guru Zak Brown, Brawn acknowledged: I would be interested in such a role but there are so many things that need to be resolved first.The one thing that Bernie is not is immortal, none of us are, and at some point he has to put his pen down. Hes a very special person, hes created most of what we are dealing with today, and there will never be a replacement for Bernie. Actually working for Bernie may be a fun and interesting thing to do.During the interview, Brawn also discusses how he lured Lewis Hamilton from McLaren to Mercedes, his own exit from the Silver Arrows just months before the dawn of the hybrid era they have dominated, and his relationship with Michael Schumacher. On working with SchumiBrawn worked with Schumacher during each of the Germans seven F1 world championships but says their partnership wasnt always plain sailing.He was the most complete driver of that era. He had fabulous talent but he also had the application, the intelligence and the devotion - and a love of driving. Michael is a very honest person, he doesnt like fun and games - and Im the same. So even if we disagreed, we would thrash it out and sort it out. We were close and still are close... On signing HamiltonIn 2012, Brawn pulled off one of the most unexpected transfer coups in F1 history when he persuaded Lewis Hamilton to leave superpowers McLaren for a Mercedes outfit which had won just one race in the previous three years.We built it slowly with Lewis, explained our plans and explained what we were doing. There was an important meeting at his mums house which was a lot of fun. And it grew: Lewis started to understand what we wanted to achieve and why we hadnt achieved the results we wanted to and how critical being an engine supplier was going to be with the new regulations. And then we had the inevitable complication on the commercial side of finding a package Mercedes could afford and what Lewis felt was justified from his side... On why he left MercedesBrawn left Mercedes at the end of 2013, a decision which was linked to the recruitment, without his knowledge, of Paddy Lowe.I had my frustrations but l also had relief because what had evolved wasnt something l was comfortable with. Writing the book was therapeutic. I had many difficult decisions in my career and l tried to face them head-on. Finding out from McLaren what had happened [Lowe agreeing to join Mercedes] when they rang up and said hey, youre nicking our guy was a bit brutal... Can Nico Rosberg clinch the title at Interlagos?

Tim Cahills first major match for A-League club Melbourne City will go untelevised.City have been drawn against the Western Sydney Wanderers in the only clash between two A-League clubs in the quarter finals of the FFA Cup at AAMI Park on September 21.Given the weight of the match, its likely to be Cahills first full match for the club after he played as a second-half substitute against the Brisbane Strikers earlier this month.However, the concurrent clash between Blacktown City and Sydney FC will be broadcast live on Fox Sports, with Cahills appearance relegated to internet streaming and Apple TV.Head of the A-League Greg ORourke said there were clear reasons for why the Melbourne City game was not the match being broadcast,.The Westfield FFA Cup is all about providing the opportunity for grassroots and semi-professional clubs to play against the giants of the Hyundai A-League, ORourke said.A match that pits the current National Premier Leagues Chhampions of Australia against Sydney FC in their home state is delivering on this and for this reason the Fox Sports broadcast match on the opening night of the quarter-finals will be the Cup tie between Blacktown City and Sydney FC.ddddddddddddahills debut off the bench for City was also televised in the round-of-16, while neither Sydney FC or Blacktown have had a game televised so far in the competition.The match will be Blacktowns first of the tournament against an A-League club, having beaten fellow Sydney NPL sides Sydney United 58 FC and Bonnyrigg White Eagles to reach the final eight.Meanwhile the other quarter-finals will feature Melbourne Victory taking on Bentleigh Greens on September 27, the same night Canberra Olympic host Green Gully, who earlier knocked out Central Coast Mariners, in the untelevised match.
