After Günther Steiner, another familiar face from the Formula 1 paddock is making his way into the world of MotoGP: this time it is Ross Brawn. Here is the role he will take on.
The former managing director of Formula 1 is ready to embrace a new challenge: after winning 22 Formula 1 world titles, including 11 Constructors’ Championships and 11 Drivers’ Championships, Ross Brawn, at the age of 71, is joining Pramac Racing.
The official statement
His experience, first as Technical Director and later as Team Principal, will lead him to serve as a strategic consultant for Yamaha’s satellite team. The news arrived just moments ago through a statement released by Pramac, which reads: “Pramac Racing Limited announces that Ross Brawn has joined its Board of Directors. In this role, he will act as strategic advisor to Team Principal Paolo Campinoti, bringing extensive experience from the highest levels of motorsport. Brawn’s Motorsport career spans more than four decades, during which he won a total of 22 world titles — 11 Constructors’ Championships and 11 Drivers’ Championships. His appointment reflects a shared competitive background and an approach that aligns with Pramac Racing’s own position within MotoGP. This addition further strengthens the company’s organisational structure as it continues its development at the top level of motorcycle racing.”
Paolo Campinoti’s words
“I am very proud to welcome Ross to Pramac Racing. Beyond his extraordinary career and achievements in Formula 1, Ross is someone with whom I have shared a friendship and a relationship of great respect for many years. I believe that his vision, knowledge and winning mentality will make a valuable contribution to the continued growth and development of Pramac Racing.”
Ross Brawn’s words
“I’m delighted to join the board of Pramac Racing Limited in a non-executive role. Motorsport has always been about people, teamwork and continuous improvement, and I look forward to supporting Paolo and the team and contributing where my experience may be useful. Pramac has built an impressive organisation with a strong spirit and ambition, and I’m excited to be part of its future.”
