Rosberg praises Brawn ambition
Nico Rosberg has praised Ross Brawn's ambition to turn Mercedes in to a championship-winning team.
Brawn's eponymous team won both championships in 2009 as it capitalised on a major change in the rules to start the season with the dominant car. At the end of the year the team was taken over by Mercedes, but since then Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari have all cemented their positions at the front of the grid.
Having joined Mercedes in 2010 Rosberg is yet to win a grand prix, but he said that Brawn had assembled the technical team to deliver victories and that he had full faith in the team principal.
"He knows what we need in order to be the best team," Rosberg told Auto Motor und Sport. "There were many competent people already who had just not yet grown together properly, while not everyone was sitting in the right places. That process has taken place now. In Bob Bell, Geoff Willis and Aldo Costa, we also have three new top people on board, and I believe very strongly in Ross. You can feel his ambition."
Despite the strides being made at Mercedes, Rosberg admitted that continuity at Red Bull means it will remain the team to beat.
"No matter what the rules look like, Red Bull will still be strong. They have the expertise, the structure and all the requirements to keep being the best."
