Silver Arrows sparks SOS


Barcelona / Cologne – World Champion Lewis Hamilton (24) as king of the drive behind and crash testing.
The proud Silver Arrow abgebraten by over two seconds from the 1-Euro-Team GP Brawn. Only 15 days until the Formula 1 car in Melbourne, McLaren-Mercedes now radioed SOS!
However, not Hamilton, the driver got a muzzle. That Mercedes boss Norbert Haug says (56). And what that says is an ever heard before bankruptcy!
"There are a total lack of downforce, we still have much work ahead of us." Is it clear who has seen any. But now it comes. Haug: "This process takes time, it can take up to the start of the European season, possibly even longer."
Hello? The European season begins with the Grand Prix of Spain on 10 May. Haug, Mercedes wants to millions of fans say that their silver arrows to May – or even longer – only hinterherfährt, while the fast-bust team of ex-Ferrari technical chief Ross Brawn (win 54) races. With the Mercedes engine in the rear!
Sounds incredible, is not so. Haug has informed himself: "They're so good. Since nothing is played. "By this he means show rounds with drained of cars. But you could already exclude Tuesday as the Brawn drivers Jenson Button (29) and Rubens Barrichello (36) not only on a lap, but over a race distance traveled fabulous times. Barrichello: "The car is a bomb."
But Brawn trick with the rear diffuser, with Toyota and Williams are already on top places, "sucked" had (reported EXPRESS>), even legal? Renault team boss Flavio Briatore (had 58) doubts it.
EXPRESS asks for Haug. "We accept the interpretation of regulations of the FIA and, therefore, the previously presented solutions are legal," he says. States: McLaren-Mercedes will lodge a protest against the diffusers of the rivals – and reconstruct them instead? Haug, evasively: "We will continue to revise our entire car, concentrate on our tasks and do not see politics in the foreground." Mercedes admits: Brawn and Toyota have been smarter!
Why is the "Reviewing", ie the adaption Kölsch or Brawnschen solution take so long to explain, a Toyota aerodynamicist EXPRESS: "I do not think you understand the other teams, how it works with our diffuser. Brawn has different, but also done well. There will be long before others have copied it. "
