Paffett joins 2MB
Martin Brundle, a former McLaren race driver and commentator for British television, will manage the F1 team`s English test driver Gary Paffett in 2006.
Although Paffett, 24, was managed by Martin Hines since he was 11, the hopeful has now switched to `2MB` -- the management company run by Brundle and another of Ron Dennis` ex-charges, Mark Blundell.
Of the current F1 crop, 165 GP-veteran Brundle - who was instrumental in negotiating Paffett`s McLaren test contract - also manages Red Bull veteran David Coulthard.

Gary Paffett said: ``The goal of succeeding in Formula One has now become a reality and the significant knowledge and experience that Martin and Mark have will be invaluable to me.``
