Ross Brawn has made it clear that he has no intentions of returning to Formula 1 anytime soon.

Brawn who was linked to many other teams after he announced his departure from Mercedes, has now made it clear that he has no intention to return to F1. He made the announcement at a fishing even on Saturday in Aberdeenshire.

“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,” said Brawn talking to the Daily Telegraph

“I’m retiring – it’s not tongue in cheek. I’m going to take a year to enjoy the fishing and then see what life brings.”

Speaking to Sky Sports F1 at the Motor Sport magazine ‘Hall Of Fame’ awards in London, Brawn hinted that he may be persuaded to change his mind to return to the sport. “Come the summer I may take stock and things may change – never say never – but it’s not my plan,” said Brawn.

The F1 world will definitely miss Brawn in the paddock. He is seen as one of the most successful team principals in the paddock. He’s been instrumental in 16 world titles between three teams.
