Rory and Ross to stick around awhile longer. Surprised no has posted this yet. From ITV:

BYRNE TO STAY ON AT FERRARI
Last Updated: Tuesday, 24, January, 2006, 16:03

Long-time Ferrari designer Rory Byrne will stay at the Italian team in a consultancy role for the next two years.

Along with technical director Ross Brawn, Byrne has played an integral part in all of Michael Schumacher’s championships at both Benetton and Ferrari.

The South African was due to leave Ferrari when his contract runs out at the end of this season and has already handed over the reins to Italian Aldo Costa, who was responsible for the new 248 F1.

However, Brawn revealed at today’s launch that the team will continue to benefit from Byrne’s input for another two years.

“With this car, we’ve made the final step we wanted to make where Aldo is totally responsible,” Brawn said.

“Rory is assuming a new position at Ferrari; he has agreed to stay with Ferrari for another two years.

“Rory will stay as a consultant working on projects that we agree together, primarily looking at projects for the future of Ferrari.

“Rory’s got huge experience and we want to use that to our advantage.”

Brawn’s contract also expires at the end of this season and the Briton said he is keen to renew it.

“As to my role in the future, we are discussing that at the moment,” he said.

“I’m very happy at Ferrari, very pleased with the way things are and would very much like to be involved with Ferrari in the future.”

That is really good news, perhaps MS will stick around a bit longer. Well Rory keeps wanting to go to Thailand and start a Scuba Diving School, I guess Ferrari flashed another big pot of gold in front of him or perhaps the Tsunami freaked him out.
