Problem analysis a strong point, says Brawn
04 July 2009Ross Brawn believes that his team has a reputation for both recognising and solving problems in order to increase the pace of a car. The squad formerly known as Honda lost points to Red Bull for the second consecutive race at Silverstone as Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button finished in third and sixth positions respectively.

"The team is looking forward to returning to the race track at the German Grand Prix next weekend and the Nürburgring should be a good circuit for our car and play to its strengths," said Brawn.
"Whilst coming away with third and sixth placed finishes from Silverstone was still a good outcome from our home Grand Prix, we would be the first to admit that the result did not meet our expectations. However, we have always said that we would have a fight on our hands to maintain our excellent run of results at the start of the season and everyone at the factory and at Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines in Brixworth is looking forward to that challenge."
With two championship leads to defend, the team will be running new parts for the first time in Germany as the components' debut was left on hold in Britain. "As a team, we have a good history of going away from a race, thinking about the outcome, identifying where we need to make improvements and then coming back stronger," Ross warned. "As the home Grand Prix for Mercedes-Benz, we will be hoping to come away from the race in Germany next weekend with a successful result."
