Ross Brawn's eponymous F1 team took a scarcely believable win at its debut race at the 2009 Australian GP on this day. In today's Great Read, Brawn analyses the key moments of a long, successful GP career… and outlines the reasons for his decision to step down at the end of 2013
Ross Brawn and Adrian Newey have won all but three of 22 world championships for constructors since 1992. The current score is Newey 10, Brawn 9. These two, more than any drivers, have provided F1's competitive thrust for almost a quarter-century. Yet they could hardly be more different in their abilities and personalities. Title-winning teams have been formed around their differing strengths and weaknesses, and have risen and fallen with their arrivals and departures.
Yet Ross currently sits on the F1 sidelines, eased out of Mercedes F1 just as it is apparently poised on the verge of success built upon foundations he laid. We're sitting in a hotel reception the morning after his induction to the Motor Sport Hall of Fame and he's in standard-spec jovial, relaxed form.
