Former F1 boss Brawn gets MotoGP role
Brawn will strengthen the Pramac leadership as an advisor to team director Paolo Campinoti
www.autosport.comI don’t have live access to current headlines in this turn, but I can share the latest publicly reported notes about Ross Brawn from recent years and point you to how to find up-to-the-minute updates.
What I can summarize now
- Ross Brawn stepped back from his Formula 1 managing director role in late 2022, with teams and paddock tribute pieces noting his significant contributions to F1 during his tenure. He indicated it was a transition to a “next chapter” and that a new leadership structure would take shape at the Mercedes-era teams.[2][5]
- In 2026, there have been reports about Brawn taking advisory or leadership roles outside the traditional F1 team principal path, including moves in other motorsport domains, but specifics vary by source and date. A notable later development mentioned in 2026 coverage is his involvement with MotoGP through Pramac Racing as an advisor, reflecting his continuing influence in high-performance motorsport leadership.[3]
- Overall pattern: Brawn remains a high-profile figure in motorsport, with occasional media chatter about potential returns or new roles, but he has consistently indicated interest in high-level strategic contributions rather than returning to a single-team principal role.[5][2]
Where to look for the latest
- Official team announcements or Formula 1’s communications around key calendar events (pre-season tests, season launches, or major leadership changes) for any statements about Brawn or his successors.[1][5]
- Reputable motorsport outlets and Formula 1 sites for the latest updates on any new advisory roles or board-level activities involving Brawn (e.g., Mercedes-related leadership, Ferrari rumors historically, MotoGP roles).[1][3]
- Major news aggregators and the press sections of teams Brawn has previously been associated with (e.g., Mercedes, Ferrari, Pramac) around May–June each year, when leadership and strategic discussions are commonly revisited.[3][5]
