Brawn GP signs minor sponsor
The team’s drivers Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello, who head the Formula One points table, will join the team’s management in wearing Gieves & Hawkes suits on all formal team occasions under the terms of the supply deal.
“We are delighted to have begun our new association with Gieves & Hawkes ahead of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone,“ said Ross Brawn, team principal of Brawn GP. “As a British company which excels in precision and quality, the values of Gieves & Hawkes were a perfect match for our team, and their drive for excellence mirrors our own approach to racing.“
The formal attire will be a grey, single-breasted, two-button mohair suit with a crisp white shirt with the team’s distinctive yellow, white and grey colouring featuring on the tie and button detailing.
Steven Walton, chief executive of Gieves & Hawkes, added: “We are very excited about the partnership between Brawn GP and Gieves & Hawkes. Both companies represent the highest quality in their respective fields with precision and innovation that is second to none. Brawn GP’s success this season is a testament to the hard-working and capable team they have built and Gieves & Hawkes are very proud to now be part of this adventure and support their challenge.“
