Ross Brawn

Mercedes Grand Prix team principal Ross Brawn is positive about the team's work in Jerez. The Briton looks back at a difficult week weather-wise but was pleased with the team's progress and believes the team will be fully prepared for the first race in four weeks time. Commenting on the team's F1 test in Jerez last week Ross Brawn said: "It's been a difficult week weather-wise for all of the teams out in Jerez however we have achieved a significant amount of mileage in both the wet and dry conditions and completed some important test items on our pre-season testing program.

"This week has enabled us to increase our understanding of both the car and the tires and our focus for the final two tests will be to continue to develop the performance of the MGP W01 and ensure the team and our drivers are fully prepared for the first race."
