Ross Brawn joins Pramac board as non-executive strategic adviser

Pramac announced that Ross Brawn has joined its board as a non-executive strategic adviser to team principal Paolo Campinoti (reported in some outlets as Paolo Campinotti). Pramac said the role is strategic rather than day-to-day and provided no contract length or operational details. Campinoti said he expects Brawn’s “vision and winning mentality” to be valuable to the team, and Brawn said he was delighted to join and looked forward to supporting Pramac where his experience is useful. Brawn brings more than four decades of F1 and motorsport experience and a résumé that includes 22 world championships—11 Constructors’ titles and 11 Drivers’ titles. His career includes technical director roles at Benetton (1991–1996) and Ferrari (1996–2006), leading BrawnGP to the 2009 championship, serving as Mercedes team principal (2010–2013) and holding senior roles at Formula One Management from 2017 to 2022. Some coverage also described him as having held senior positions after Liberty Media’s takeover of Formula 1. Pramac framed the appointment as a targeted effort to accelerate on-track performance and strengthen organizational structure as it seeks better results this season. Pramac sits bottom of the MotoGP team standings this season with six points. Observers have suggested the team may have recruited Brawn to leverage his familiarity and contacts at Liberty Media as MotoGP faces proposed regulatory changes, including a contested bike limit, and commentators linked the hire to a broader pattern of crossover activity between F1 and MotoGP.
