Mid Season Review Part 2: What Is Wrong With Mercedes

Sports Jerseys China, It seemed to begin brightly for Mercedes at the beginning of the year with their double DRS system which became the first controversy of the season. However since Nico Rosberg win in China things have gone downhill rapidly. For a major car company like Mercedes is their performance so far this season acceptable?

In my opinion no it Sports Jerseys China is not acceptable as they have had 3 years to to rebuild their team since the days of Brawn GP in 2009. During the 2009 season Brawn GP had to cut down on the number of staff they had in order survive that season and then in 2010 they became Mercedes GP. So it can be excused in why they struggled in 2010 as the top teams such as Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren had to man power to build a quick car for the following season during the 2009 season and the Christmas period. Whereas Brawn did not have enough funding to start building a car for the following season until Mercedes took over at the end of the season. The 2011 season was in truth a poor season again for Mercedes as they did not really improve their position that they where in 2010 but they did make improvements but sadly for Mercedes so did everybody else but they seem to struggle throughout last season in trying to bring the gap down to the top teams.

In Previous seasons and this season we have seen teams that begin with very poor packages at the beginning of the year and as the season progresses they find the time they have lost and a little bit more. My examples of these are Ferrari and McLaren. Both these teams in the 2009 season began with terrible cars as McLaren and Ferrari where struggling to get out of Q1 in 2009. However they found around 2-3 seconds in that season which got them back near the front of the grid and both teams ended up winning races towards the middle and the end of the season. Furthermore we have already seen a repeat of this from Ferrari this season, as they where miles of the pace at the beginning of the season but now Fernando Alonso is winning races for fun and he has already said that Ferrari have found 3 seconds so far this season. So why can\'t Mercedes do that?

Well only Mercedes can answer that question but some of you will say there drivers could be to blame and especially Micheal Schumacher as he has past it. Those critics are just people who no nothing about Formula one. I will agree sometimes you have to ask questions of Micheal Schumacher\'s performances but to be honest there is not a lot the Schumacher can do or Rosberg. The car is simply not Sports Jerseys China good enough. Furthermore we have seen that despite Schumacher being 43 years old he Sports Jerseys China is still a world class driver with that pole position at Monaco, the race at Spa last year where he started last due to his rear wheel coming loose in Q1 to come home 6th in front of his team mate and the 2011 Montreal Grand Prix where he finished fourth but could of finished on the podium if his car was quick enough in a straight line towards th as he was overtaken by Webber and Button.
