Pa nije on baš loše radio. Nije samo do njega. Prošle godine je bio dobar bolid.

[spacedoc]

ovako bolid nije neki najbolji ali samo za 3 ekipe je on nezanimljiv dok ostalih 8 doslovno slini za njim

[ivan599]

Svaka cast na ovom dali su klincu novu priliku u životu
Ima 'roboruku': Britancu (14) u Mercedesu napravili novu ruku

ajd svaka čast, uljepšali su život jednom dječaku...
e da je meni se upoznati sa Brawnom

Svaka čast.
Taj primjer trebale bi slijediti i ostale ekipe...

On je ispao žrtveno janje u Ferrariju.. Nekoga se moralo šikanirat, napraviti jedan "pozitivan" šok u ekipi.. ,
Vjerujem da bi on puno pomogao Mercedesu.

EDIT:

[ivan599]

Novih dijelova ima ili su se namakali u nekoj bari za vrijeme ove stanke?

[alien_ri]

Evo i engleske verzije

[dmarijon]

Meni se čini da bi Merc mogao biti u prednosti baš zbog toga što zbog kiše ekipe ne mogu previše testirati. Ros Brawn, genijalnost, ovo ono...
vidjet ćemo

[Igor18]

Sad je Brown rekao da će ići na setup za suhu utrku..
Makar mislim da će možda jednog vozača pošalje sa setupom za kišu a drugog za suho

[Walter]

Danas se opet pokazalo koliko je Mercedes loš, Rosberga su svi prelazili bez puno muke.

Ross Brawn reče da će u Monzi imati "special low-downforce aerodynamic package to minimise drag on the long straights".

Former Ferrari technical chief Aldo Costa linked with return with Mercedes GP

[Kenny]

Umjesto koga bi on došao u Mercedes?

[Igor18]

Vjerovatno nikoga.
Došao bi kao "pojačanje" postojećem kadru

[vidc]

na fp 1 mercedes izgleda ne koristi krilo s drsom. možda su odlučili žrtvovat kvalifikacije i startat dosta nisko. a onda u utrci da imaju dobru prednost

[Igor18]

Speed. That’s pretty much what it all boils down to in Monza. With a special low-downforce aerodynamic package to minimise drag on the long straights and the addition of KERS and DRS, Monza has “fast” written all over it, even more so then previous years.



Indeed, the quest for race pace started on Friday for the team, with both drivers focusing on race distance runs and covering 113 laps (655 km) during the two practice sessions, more than two race distances.



The same reasoning meant the team decided to run a “tactical” qualifying session on Saturday, with Michael completing a single quick lap on soft tyres in Q3 (although other drivers had shown two fast laps were better for lap time) and Nico qualifying on hard tyres, in an effort to save new tyre sets for the race. Michael and Nico qualified respectively in eighth and ninth places on their different strategies and both drivers were quite confident they could make their own strategy work during the race.



Sadly, Nico’s race came to an end in the first corner when Liuzzi lost control of his car and pushed Petrov into Nico. Sadly indeed, because after an “average” start, Nico still managed to stay close to the drivers in front – despite being the only driver in the top 10 to qualify and start on the medium compound – and had already gained a position going in the first corner before the accident.



Nico’s choice to start on the slower compound meant that he would have been able to run longer than the cars ahead of him, and to use the soft tyres towards the end of the race while other drivers, on a different strategy, would have been on the mediums. A missed opportunity for him, through no fault of his own, but no doubt he will bounce back in Singapore!



Michael once again had an excellent start, gaining four positions this time, taking his season total of places gained on the first lap to 35! When the safety car emerged on track after the chaos of the first corner, Michael was running fourth, just behind Lewis Hamilton.



When the restart occurred at the end of lap three, Michael had a better run than Lewis down the start/finish straight line and managed to overtake him before turn one. From then on, and until his first pitstop on lap 16, we witnessed some of Michael’s best defensive manoeuvres on the ever-attacking Lewis Hamilton and a thrilling fight between the two. Ross spoke to Michael twice during the race, reminding him to leave enough room at Ascari and to do the same when changing direction…



Some called it harsh, while others, including Lewis (who tends to share the same philosophy with Michael, meaning “if you’re going to try to pass me, you’ll need to mean business!”) felt those two offered us a very entertaining afternoon of racing! Michael’s use of his KERS against Hamilton’s DRS just went to prove that used smartly, the two systems really add an extra strategic element to the racing.



On lap 16, as Michael started to suffer from rear tyre drop-off, Jenson Button managed to find a way past him right before Michael came in for his first stop. The second stint felt like déjà-vu, with Michael and Lewis fighting for position until Michael hit the limiter for a bit too long out of the second Lesmo on lap 26, losing momentum and allowing Lewis to have a go and overtake him…



Michael stopped for a second time on lap 37 to switch to medium tyres, and rejoined in fifth place, 12 seconds in front of Felipe Massa. From there, Michael managed to hold the gap to the second Ferrari and came home with fifth place and the fastest first sector of the race.



All in all, it was a good effort from the team, and the gap to Lotus Renault continues to increase; it now stands at 38 points, and we have matched or out-scored them at every race since China. As Ross pointed out after the race, Sunday proved that when we do have the right car, we will be able to compete at the front, and that should be our inspiration for next year.



It will soon be time to pack again, and by the time the cars make it to the freight, it will be the last we see of them at the factory before the end of the season. How time flies… next stop, Singapore!

Mercedes GP hope to see the benefits of their latest aerodynamic upgrades during the final five races of the season.

The team introduced the updates to the W02 before this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix, but although the numbers point in the right direction the team didn't see it in the results as they could only manage a P7 through Nico Rosberg.

Team boss Ross Brawn, though, is convinced they will start seeing the improvements from Japan onwards as Singapore's Marina Bay Street Circuit didn't quite suit the car's downforce levels.

"I don't think we advertised it as a big upgrade, but it was an upgrade. It seemed okay," said Brawn.

"It may not look as though our relative position has changed, but if you think back to Hungary, which was the last high downforce track, we struggled.

"So far the numbers look like we have moved forward and I think we will see the benefit in the next couple of races in particular, so it looks okay.

"We are reasonably happy with it, but it is a very difficult track to assess these things on. When we get to the next couple of tracks it should be better."

As for the updates itself, Brawn explained that the changes weren't cutting edge.

"There were several detailed aerodynamic improvements - with bodywork and tuning," he said. "It was nothing radical - just going through the loop of floor and bodywork, those sorts of things."

Costa, Willis join Mercedes GP as it strengthens technical team

[Mansell]

Ozbiljno su se oni uhvatili posla da se bore za pobjede sljedecu sezonu

[Alonso-champ]

kad jim Costa uvali jos jednog F150

[Igor18]

ili neki F2007 ili F2008

[Cuky]

ma sve je dobro, samo nedaj Bože a on i Brawn uvale neki F2002 ili F2004

[Igor18]

ma sve je dobro, samo nedaj Bože a on i Brawn uvale neki F2002 ili F2004

jedan F2004 bio bi sasvim OK

Kolko sam gledao Brownovu biografiju, uglavom je u 3. sezoni ostvarivao prave rezultate.
1991. došao je u Benneton da bi 94. i 95. ostvario 2 titule sa Schumijem.
1996. sa Schumacherom otišel je u Ferrari da bi 1999. ostvario konstruktorsku pobjedu a kasnije zna se kaj je bilo.
2007. došao u Hondu, 2009. osvaja 2 prvenstva...

Znači prema nekom slijedu sljedeća godina je pobjednička

[Cuky]

Nadam se samo da će crveni konjić biti ispred njih
