Mercedes GP Blunder

I feel we are in a mess if the news is to be believed. Although Nick Fry played down the panic factor, I still think we are in bad shape for the start of the season. The fact that Bahrain race was postponed is a blessing. We have time to get back to shape, however, it does not provide enough time to level with the big boys.

It is not the start of the season that we have expected, I hope we can rectify this fast, however, this thing needs time, and we don’t have enough time. Expectations are high in Mercedes GP camp, as fans are looking for the team to fight with the big boys like Ferrari and McLaren .. and we should be at the level of Red Bull, but we are not.

Another hope is the new Pirelli tyres which level the playing field. The tyre degradation is much more than expected as aggressive drivers will be punished. The tyres are easily worn out and that’s why we will see more pit stops than last season. Driving style like Jenson Button will benefit from this kind of tyres where his smooth style will make the tyres last longer, and I feel Rosberg can do the same too. However, this cannot be said with Michael Schumacher as his style of driving is more aggressive.

Anyway, I was anticipating the start of the season earlier, however du to the Bahrain Race being postponed, we have to wait another 3 weeks which is dreadful to say the least.
