Sky Sports exclusive: Ross Brawn extended interview on F1's future
F1s managing director of motorsports explains Libertys 2021 proposals to improve the sport
www.skysports.comI can’t pull live news directly right now, but I can summarize the most recent well-documented updates about Ross Brawn up to late 2024 and what was publicly known since then.
Direct answer
- As of the latest widely reported updates, Ross Brawn stepped back from his Formula 1 management role in 2022, with public statements at the time indicating retirement from F1 leadership and a new chapter away from the sport’s day-to-day operations. There were subsequent reports in 2026 about him taking on advisory roles in other motorsport contexts, such as MotoGP, but these are separate from his F1 leadership work.
Context and notable points
- Departure from F1 leadership (Mercedes-era context): In late 2013, there were widespread reports that Brawn would depart Mercedes at the end of that year, with a transition plan for leadership. This is historical context that often gets cited when discussing his later career trajectory [source discussions from Autosport and PlanetF1 around that period].[1][2]
- Retirement claims: In late 2022, Brawn publicly stated that he planned to retire from his managing director of motorsports role in F1, signaling a move away from day-to-day F1 leadership and implying he wouldn’t immediately return to a similar executive role within a team.[2]
- Recent advisory roles in other series: There have been reports in 2026 about Brawn taking on an advisory position with Pramac Racing in MotoGP, suggesting he remained active in motorsport in a capacity outside F1 competition management.[3]
What this means for “latest news”
- If you’re looking for the very latest developments as of May 2026, I’d recommend checking current motorsport outlets (Autosport, Formula1.com, Sky Sports F1) and major news aggregators for any new announcements about Brawn’s activities or roles in 2025–2026. I don’t have a live feed here, but those outlets routinely publish timely updates on figures like Brawn.
