Formula 1 legend Ross Brawn has recently stirred the motorsport world by offering a surprising perspective on the ongoing debate about the legacy of two of the sport’s most successful drivers, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton. Brawn, known for his critical role in Schumacher’s triumphs, reflected on the unique relationship he shared with the German driver during their time together at Benetton and Ferrari, where Schumacher secured his seven World Championship titles.
Brawn’s career in F1 is inseparable from Schumacher’s rise to dominance. The duo’s partnership began in 1991 at Benetton, where Brawn worked as the team’s technical director, while Schumacher was a promising new driver.
