Mercedes team principal Ross Brawn hopes for a strong end to 2012 – Formula 1 news
Mercedes team principal, Ross Brawn is hoping for a strong end to the 2012 Formula 1 season and has said that they are looking forward to make the necessary preparations for the next year.
The Brackley based team had quite a successful pre-season testing programme this year as compared to the previous one in which they could hardly test their car.
Even though, their driver, Nico Rosberg claimed an impressive victory for the team in the Chinese Grand Prix after claiming his first ever pole position. However, he and his teammate, Michael Schumacher have struggled in most of the races in the current
season until now due to some technical problems in the car and tyre degradation issues.
Moreover, the 27-year-old was retired in the opening lap of the Korean GP, along with Jenson Button of McLaren, because of Kamui Kobayashi of Sauber who lost the control over his car. On the other hand, the seven-time world champion came 13th
and failed to score even a single point in the preceding race.
Nevertheless, Brawn has said that they are not feeling upset over their poor result in the last race and are confidently looking forward to perform well in the remainder of the season so as to secure a competitive position in this year’s championship fight.
In addition, he said that they are planning to come up with some essential updates in the car and are hoping to attain good results in the remaining four grands prix.
“I think these next few tracks coming up - we're not sure about Austin yet - but they tend to come a little bit towards the nature of our car,” Brawn said. “[Korea was] not necessarily the best circuit for us either, particularly the last complex, but the
circuits we've got coming up if you remember last year we were a bit stronger in this batch of circuits. And there are still some things we want to try on the car during these four races particularly for next year.”
It will be interesting to see how the Silver Arrows perform in the forthcoming races.
