Formula 1 managing director Ross Brawn has revealed that the challenges facing the sport as a result of COVID-19 motivate him to continue in the role.
Speaking to RaceFans, the former Ferrari team principal said that he will remain in the position he took up in 2017 for the foreseeable future, with the 66-year-old set to oversee the implementation of the new technical regulations that will be introduced ahead of the 2022 campaign.
Looking to the future, Brawn admitted that he looked forward to working with his old Maranello colleague Stefano Domenicali, the new F1 CEO.
“I’m very excited about the challenges we face at the moment,” he told RaceFans. “It would have been frustrating not to see the new cars running.
“With Stefano coming on board, obviously we renew a partnership. I think also the challenge of COVID-19, all those things keep me motivated and wanting to carry on."
Brawn and Domenicali enjoyed plenty of success with Ferrari during the 2000s, winning six consecutive constructors' championships before the Brit's departure in 2006.
Reunited 15 years later, Brawn revealed that he has been helping the Italian settle into the new role which he took up earlier this month.
“Stefano’s joined, I’m probably the person he knows best in our organisation," he said.
"So I’ve been a reference for him on any number of things. But as he gets to know all the people in our team, then he will undoubtedly work more closely with them.”
