Customer is king!
It never happened like that before.
5th of december Honda decided to pull out of Formula One
and immidiately we got a phone call and then we started.
And I think 10th of march, three months later,
the Brawn Mercedes did fastest lap times
and fastest longruns, which was a big surprise.
I don’t think you can separate it like that!
I think it’s the whole group and I’m part of it
and I try to be a catalyst and make certain things happen.
But without the people, without the commitment, without the effort
and the work of the people at Brawn GP
and at Mercedes we couldn’t be where we are today.
When I heard that my Brawn car
could have the Mercedes engine I was very excited
and I wanted to see the power curve and to see how it developed.
First of all it’s very drivable which is something we struggled with last year
and it has good power.
I mean now we are back in the top of the list in terms of speed,
we don’t have to worry to take to much wing and it’s nice.
It’s quite impressive how we’ve been able
to work together as one team, Mercedes and Brawn GP.
And for me, you know,
I’ve been working with the Mercedes engineers very closely
and we’ve been getting along very well
and I think that we’ve made some good progress with the engine/chassis.
It’s fitted together very well as one package
and that’s what you need to be competitive in Formula One
and that’s one of the main reasons why we’ve been at the front and winning races.
