Michael Schumacher is not the only person at Ferrari to lay claim to 5 titles. Technical Director Ross Brawn also has the same claim as he has been behind each title won by Michael. Brawn has said that they are all special but the first with Ferrari is highly memorable.

Speaking on SkyF1 Ross Brawn was talking about his five title wins, as the brains behind each of the Michael Schumacher title Brawn remembers them all well and feels that the first one with Ferrari is probably the most memorable. After losing the title on the last day for three years running it was a relief to finally do it in 2000.

“The first at Ferrari was special particularly after the 3 years of getting close it was a relief. But they have all been very special in their own way. The last one was the most recent so that is special as well but it seems to get better every time.” Said Ross.

But with 5 titles and domination would the Ferrari team be losing a bit of motivation and desire? That is not going to happen according to Ross who can see the factory is still working hard and still full of desire to remain winning. And off course Michael Schumacher is still pushing the team for more and more!

“Losing the three titles strengthened the team we have been through very difficult years and it made us realise to stay together as a group and to make it work. The enthusiasm is still the same, when I look at all the efforts going into the 2003 car and all the enthusiasm for it then it seems the same. Michael is still giving us a hard time to improve so everybody wants to do it again next year. Maybe in a few years we will all decide to call it a day but not for a good few years yet.”
