According to team chief executive Nick Fry, current sponsor Virgin will leave Brawn at the end of the year but new deals are in place for 2010.
The Daily Express newspaper said Fry confirmed the impending departure of Sir Richard Branson's famous brand, which is switching to the new Manor team, to be known probably as 'Virgin F1' next year.
Fry however said contracts are already in place to replace Virgin, and the Daily Express said one of them could be with the airline Emirates.
"We have zero worries on funding," the Briton is quoted as saying.
Team boss Ross Brawn has suggested that he will likely field an unchanged driver line-up in 2010.
"There is no good reasons not to keep them," Briton Brawn is quoted as saying by the Swiss publication Motorsport Aktuell.
"They are both doing a very good job and I think after Spa we will look at it more closely. Until now we have had other things to take care of," said Brawn.
"We are not waiting to see what happens with Fernando Alonso. We will make a decision at the right time but at the moment it is not a priority," added Nick Fry.
