Dear all / os / is
With today's post would lose a little time with one of my new heroes, such as Sir Ross Brawn. The engineer, born in Manchester on November 23, 1954 and married to Jean and father of two girls (Helen and Amy), is one of the great engineers of Formula One And most curious is that stardom has not come for designs new or revolutionary, as some of the other eight men who have in the blog header , if not his greatest achievement is to read the spirit competition, all in anticipation of resolution of problems not raised by conservative designers.
After completing his doctorate in engineering, specializing in instrumentation, and working in the sector of the British atomic research, Dr. Brawn was signed as a lathe-milling for the March racing team in 1976 and shortly thereafter, That same year, he was drafted into the team that was forming around Sir Frank Williams and Patrick Head. In 1978 he burst onto the F1 teams one of the most glorious and peculiar history as Williams, one of whom was Ross. Its capabilities in instrumentation allowed up the ladder, through the development department and finally the aerodynamic, with a special interest in understanding and evaluating the data that served something that in those years (first decade of the 80 ) was extremely innovative, as was the wind tunnel. In that time period (1978-84) Brawn was involved, and therefore responsible in part in achieving two drivers championships (Jones-80 and Rosberg-82) and two championship teams (1980-81).
The presence of the powerful Head Brawn prevented the rise to positions of great responsibility for what he chose, as did many young engineers subsequently raised in the foothills of Williams, to emigrate. Following his immediate boss at Williams, Neil Oatley, was changed to Lola, but the situation did not catch the company disappeared. However, once (1987) was signed for Arrows as chief designer. His two seasons in this company was not allowed to shine as he wished, and that economic constraints were very large and greatly restricted their ability. Nevertheless, Jaguar convinced him to leave the F1 in 1989 and embark on his sports management. The success in designing racing cars for others, such as Super Touring, combined with the fact that Jaguar take a shareholding of Benetton (now former Toleman and Lotus god knows why) was to return to the premier class in 1991 as director technical team, where he met one of the brightest engineers in history, as was Roy Byrne . Not without some controversy, this duo's great, got two drivers championships (Schumacher 1994-5) and one builder in 1995.
wheel after armed robbery he did Lamb with Benetton in 1996, Brawn joins the ranks of Ferrari, in the footsteps of Byrne, to perform the same tasks originally done in Benetton to which you were adding others. At this point is uncovered, not only as a great reader of gray areas, but as a great strategist and career-shaping unbeatable teams. The four pit stops in the Grand Prix of France of 2004 show the inventiveness of a great team led by him. Indeed, the primary responsibility and thinker of this strategy was, the now-vilified and punished for a fool, Chris Dyer . Until 2006, which decides it is impossible to reconcile family life in the UK with the professional in the North of Italy and Jean chooses over Ferrari, won five drivers' championship titles (2000-04) and six teams championship titles (1999-2004).
After a sabbatical, and forgetting about Ferrari's entreaties to take the reins of the team, in 2008 rather stay in the UK with his wife and daughters, initiating a new phase as a top leader in the former Honda team, with his friend Nick Fry, who is at a crossroads. This team felt completely overwhelmed for failing to shine in the championship, after extremely strong investment, and willing to completely change the philosophy of it. The following year, the Japanese say farewell to F1 and Brawn regale his team for one euro. A great read and illegal quasi standard, the FIA \u200b\u200bhad to endorse the legality of multiple well-known broadcaster, allowing new Brawn team take an advantage that allowed him crowned world drivers champion 2009, Jenson Button, as well as the of teams.
December 24 of that year, the companies Daimler AG and Aabar Investments PJS (sovereign wealth fund Abu Dhabi) Ross bought 75.1% of the team for about 125 million euros . This week it announced the purchase final and the team's total by the aforementioned companies for a price the previous prorratéale.
The ability to Ross read the manuals of the FIA \u200b\u200bwas recognized by all, your intuition when weighing the various strategies is prodigious, but his cunning negotiator is at the height of What Goerge Soros Mr. Carabante envy! He has made his dreams reality pitch (off the record: If instead of spending our taxes on decorating momentarily traffic signals, corrupting the system or any other type of Sebastiano varied us to spend that money on research, as a Spaniard would be able to give a global technology pitch, not brickbats perpetrate field).
On the other hand, this purchase by Mercedes will make it increasingly difficult to justify the furnishing of a direct competitor engines as McLaren Can you imagine the German metal union going on strike to demand that work only benefit the German team? In fact, this latest move was preceded by the shareholder selling the shares they owned McLaren Daimler and Aabar. It is reasonable to think that, before long, the British company will have to find a new engine supplier Volkswagen "in some of its aspects? Perhaps BMW? Is the way back again from the Japanese engines? Or beg to have the Renault-Nissan-Infiniti, or whatever you call them, and Newey will take revenge?
And finally Will it leave Mr Brawn Mercedes McLaren is going to make amends for the loss of the engine or open a public bid for him?
