Brawn: Mercedes need to find a second!!

4/3/11,

Ross Brawn says that Mercedes are going to make changes in the car with the new upgraded pack which they are going to receive in the next week’s test at Barcelona which he hopes will be worth one second per lap. Speaking to the BBC Brawn discussed about the changes and the strategy that the team had followed. 

“Most sensible teams have been running with high fuel loads because that’s where you get the highest degradation, that’s where you stress the tyres the most. “So it is difficult to judge. I think we said when we started that we had some things to learn on KERS and tyres and we were going to start with a fairly plain car.” he said to the BBC.

“We’re as quietly confident as we can be. We think our strategy is correct to operate the way we have. We will know when we get to the first race. “It’s pretty difficult to judge where everyone is. I think at the last test at Barcelona we had a go at running low fuel and super soft tires and we had the second-quickest car. “I think we’re about a second off where we want to be. And where we want to be is mixing it at the front. So we've got to find a second in the upgrade. Which we think we can do but you never know what other people are going to do as well. Everybody’s going to have new bits at Barcelona'' said Brawn.
