Brawn, who has won 16 titles in Formula One, eight drivers’ and eight constructors’, has been involved in motorsport since the 1970s, when he joined Williams as a mechanic. He became technical director of Benetton in the early 1990s, where he won a reputation as a master strategist on his way to winning the title with Schumacher in 1994 and 1995. He went on to win six consecutive constructors' titles with Ferrari, before winning with his own team, Brawn GP, after Honda pulled out of the sport at the end of 2008.
