Why he is not part of a F1 team anymore?

 

He was with Beneton, he won.

He was with Ferrari, he won.

He was with Brown F1, he won.

He was with Mercedes, he won.

[Nonesuch]

He retired while fishing in Aberdeenshire.

To add to this, the Telegraph reported as follows in February 2014: http://www.telegraph...th-McLaren.html
 

Brawn, 59, has been heavily linked with a move to McLaren following the return of Ron Dennis to the team, but in a shock announcement to a fishing event in Aberdeenshire, he said he would not be returning to the sport.

"What they didn't realise when I was invited here was they had a scoop because the world's press was trying to find out if I was retiring or not," Brawn said.

"This is the busiest time of the year for Formula One and I said I would come along and open the River Dee.

"If they had put two and two together they would have realised I was definitely retiring."

 

Daniel Johnson deserved a raise for coming up with the phrase 'a shock announcement to a fishing event in Aberdeenshire'.

Who the heck is Ross Brown?  

[Risil]

Would like to request that as part of time-honoured tradition we do not correct thread title typos.

 

Come back to F1, Ross, and you can have your real name back.

He's been out of it for too long now, there's no way back. Shame, great guy.

[Ruusperi]

Brown works for Firrari, in Farmula 1 -series. Lawis Hamolton won the championship last year, but Sebustian Vottel managed to get a couple of wins for Brown.

Thats what I meant, I have no idea

 

So far I also didnt heared any non-German speaker who pronounced Vettel, Hülkenberg or Schumacher correct, so it's fine

Lounging around the house tinkering with his car collection, expanding his car collection, travelling, and mulling over a McLaren contract.

[TheRacingElf]

If you mean Ross Brawn, then he is probably near a lake

[BullHead]

Looking after Charlie

[Tony Mandara]

He's vacationing on a Cribian eyeland with David Coolthard, Sebastian Vitell and Jack Villnerve.

Why he is not part of a F1 team anymore?

 

He was with Beneton, he won.

He was with Ferrari, he won.

He was with Brown F1, he won.

He was with Mercedes, he won.

 

He was with TWR Jaguar and won Le Mans twice.

How do you know? That's supposed to be a secret!

[OvDrone]

I hope he's on a random fishing forum, just venting allout hate on a dude who criticized his baiting technique. Or whatever the hell people that fish do.

I hear Charlie is making a return in an animated motion picture. My guess is Ross is preparing an animated cartoon too. Only cars to see are those brands he won a championship with. Who will win?

...But as well as playing football, he's also become a politician for the Green Party in Ireland.

He's certainly a busy man.

[RPM40]

He's probably just tired of F1, its a very full on job. He's achieved all a person can possibly achieve.

[V8 Fireworks]

Brown? lol

 

Ross Brawn on the other hand is here:

 

 

[Disgrace]

He's lost weight. Is fishing that strenous?

[midgrid]

He was with TWR Jaguar and won Le Mans twice.

I think you mean TWR Joguor and Le Mons.
