Brawn in no hurry to sign a title sponsor

Brawn GP are in no hurry to sign a title sponsor, according to the team's CEO Nick Fry.
Brawn GP have become a hot marketing tool this season after Jenson Button claimed four victories in the opening five races, giving Brawn the lead in both the Drivers' and Constructors' Championship.
As such the team has "a lot of offers on the table" from companies wanting to become their title sponsor, including the Virgin Group, the first sponsor to sign up with Brawn this season.
"The situation will change when we make the decision to change it," Fry told Autosport.
"We have a lot of offers on the table and we are not badly off for this year. We can do the job with the money and resources that we have got at the moment.
"What Ross (Brawn) and I are looking for is the best solution for the next five years, and we don't need to hurry. We have obviously had a kind offer from Virgin but there are other offers on the table from big companies who perhaps can't move as quickly as a company as entrepreneurial as Virgin.
"We are biding our time, not panicking, I am sure you will see more sponsors on the car but it will be done in a considered way."
