Hamilton: F1 will continue without Ross Brawn

Ross Brawn preferred to leave Mercedes AMG F1 to leave his place as Team Principal to Paddy Lowe, the former technical director of McLaren. The famous British engineer has taken a break and remains vague about his future in the discipline, refusing even to state if he will return to a position in the sector. As F1 begins a new chapter in its history, the absence of the former Brackley team director could harm the star-studded brand.

However, Lewis Hamilton wants to reduce the impact of Ross Brawn's departure. “I had better reasons to join Mercedes compared to him. I think that was a bonus for him.", declared the 2008 world champion on TotalRace. “He was a good boss who had a very good approach and who created a great atmosphere within the team, but that’s what you expect from a leader. F1 will continue no matter who leaves. I therefore do not consider his departure as a loss for the discipline. »
