F1: Brawn: Mercedes too conservative

Brawn: Mercedes too conservative By Michele Lostia and Matt Beer Wednesday, October 20th 2010, 10:09 GMT Mercedes GP team boss Ross Brawn believes the root of his squad's 2010 disappointments is that it took too conservative an approach to its car design - but thinks that was the only choice it had given the pressure of the 2009 title fight. After dominating much of last season in its Brawn GP guise and winning both championships, the now-Mercedes-owned outfit has failed to win at all this year, and abandoned development on its 2010 car some time ago to focus on 2011. Although the 2009 machine had been developed with the full resources of former owner Honda, the team had to dramatically cut costs and staff numbers following the Japanese company's exit, and Brawn reckons there is no way the slimmed-down squad could have coped with sustaining a 2009 title challenge while producing a cutting-edge 2010 car Related posts:
