hmmmm...
Fair point, good question.
Ross Brawn is certainly a thinker.
He and Schumacher worked very well together at Ferrari.
He took over Honda and Jenson Button and won a championship in the first year of his own branded team (albeit with a car that had a technical edge over the others).
But faced with Michael not managing to return to his pre first retirement form deciding to stand down again and Alonso not being available, he had to pick someone from the rest of the pack.
I wouldn't have been surprised to see Button make the move.
I might be going out on a limb here  Perhaps Ross walked into the Maclaren garage to offer Jenson a job, Hamilton's manager overheard and said we'll take that.
We will just have to wait and see how next season turns out.
One thought, perhaps Brawn decided to split the job in two,
have Hamilton do the driving, and keep Schumacher as a technical consultant to fulfill the rest of the role.
