Gerhard Berger says all explanations and excuses from Mercedes make him tired – Formula 1 news
Former Formula 1 driver Gerhard Berger has said that all the explanations and excuses, which Mercedes GP give due to their unsatisfactory performance in the 2011 season so far make him tired.
Berger added that Mercedes must focus on to deliver their best possible show in the ongoing season, as he believes they can do their best on the grid in the upcoming race weekends.
He also mentioned that Mercedes drivers Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg have the ability to perform strongly at the racetrack.
The former driver stated that he believes both of the drivers can still show their best run on the grid in the remainder of the season despite their unsatisfactory results so far.
Berger commented, “All the explanations and excuses from Mercedes make me tired. It is high time that a premium manufacturer provides its drivers with a premium F1 car. The engine is widely regarded as the class of the field. Now it's their turn to deliver
the rest.”
He went on to mention, “He has so much fun in racing and, with all his qualities, why shouldn't he go racing and have fun? He just combines professionalism and fun. After all his success he deserves this. The market has its own rules. As long as somebody
gives him a car, he can do this.”
