Mercedes AMG F1 Team 2012

[Vasconia]

every time MrBrawn shares his views i feel very very sick .
Wow-how on earth could they realise after three races the coanda exhaust needs time to develop -each and every team using the system successfully had massive issues and went through BIG revamps with all new parts more than once..So basically these broads sat on the fence watching Ferrari ,RedBull,Mclaren develop their system and NOT doing anything serious ...now they relaise there is something to find but they have no idea how to extract the performance .sure .All the others had to learn as well ...so in the end a wrong decision taken at the start of the season and a good six months lost in the development race.
I have to admit -I was sure there is not that much in it ,but obvously there is quite a bit of potential .
Clearly management issues .

Mercedes are a bit of a rudderless ship aren't they. Brawn's deficiency in technical management and simply overall leadershi have really been shown up in 2012.
You really start to realise that the Ferrari glory years was more about Todt's political and management genius, Rory Byrnes understanding was his driver wanted and a hungry driver looking for success. Brawn was just a large filler in the pictures that was carried along for the ride.
Glory by association.

Not so much, Brawn is an excellent strategy designer and manager, but perhaps he has had too much power to decide the technical development, in Ferraris glorious days Bryne was how decided how to develop the car and the rest(Todt/Brawn) had only to say "ok". Anyway Todt was the actual boss and I think Michael is missing him so much, and obviously Bryne hehe.

Not sure if I have shared this:



One of the many screens that they are looking at, this is Mercedes engineer showing something to others.

ah ..no that is clearly VETTELS FINGER pointing at the weak points of MGPs Strategies.. Unfortunatelly Hamilton is not already there -as we would surely have a twitter feed with all the details explained ...

Latest vacancies at Mercedes.

[marcush.]

JT..seeking a job in F1 where you can make a difference?

Track Tire Analysis Engineer...

I thought after 1/2 year of only analyzing tires they would have understood them...

[marcush.]

It speaks volumes ...first try yoourself and after failing to deliver place an advert..isn´t the usual way to send a head hunter or maybe two -one to collect Brawns head and the second to find the right man to analyse the tyre? As I understand Michelin and Bridgestone engineers were hot property when those went out of formula 1 business..Icannot imagine Honda -brawn MGP have not hired some?

Marcush,

Can you imagine the stick JT would get from the residents here if it failed ?
But seriously, who can take up the mantle for Mercedes with their perennial "tyre issues"?
I wouldnt even be looking at tyres, aero and how it translates into tyre usage is where the real issue lies in my view.

For the Merc fans.

I'd love to see an American driver driving for Merc again. Some day maybe.

[marcush.]

would an advert like that lure a top guy away from any team? I just fail to believe this .If you are involved deeply in this business you sure know all suspects who qualify for that kind of job coming from the environment of Formula 1 racing.
I´d think in a broader sense you would maybe find guys coming from the big tyre companies but WHO of them would go into Formula 1 with pressure to deliver no weekends ....

It is good conduct to advertise a job even if you already have a person in mind for it. Not sure if it is viewed as such in Germany, but here in the UK it's de rigour for companies who have signed up to all sorts of initiatives.

hm ..you got a point there ...but did they advertise the td positions they have filled with willis ,Costa and Bell?

[yener]

Marcush they are trying to replace D's by C's and C's by B's thats the only way you will have the best employees by selecting and replacing them for better people.

[clipsy1H]

again they are off the pace .... only a miracle can make this team to score top points Sunday (over 10pts)

[yener]

They really should stop talking to the Media, because there is only BS comin out their mouths.

Both drivers NR and MS should directly come back in the pits without finishing even 1 lap.
