Brawn said that he is looking at life after F1. “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. I’m looking forward to it but I’ve got no other plans.

He even went on to say a few words about the fishing event itself: “It’s a fantastic honour to do the ceremonial opening of the River Dee. It’s a river I’ve never had a chance to fish before because it is predominantly known as a spring river and in the spring I’m normally trying to sort out a Formula One car in Spain.”

“So February, March and April are never good months for me to go fishing – but this year is different, having stopped,” he finished.

Brawn is often regarded as the mastermind behind Michael Schumacher‘s seven world championship titles (two at Benetton and five at Ferrari), as well as Jenson Button‘s title run with Brawn GP in 2009. In total, Brawn won 16 titles in Formula One – eight drivers’ titles and eight constructors’ titles.
