Schumi complains about the 2010 Mercedes

The return of Michael Schumacher was not easy. The pilot Mercedes had a lot of difficulty adapting to his new car, unlike his teammate Nico Rosberg who finished the season with twice as many points as his compatriot. The seven-time World Champion highlights technical problems to explain his performance deficit.

The German uses the data collected to compare the performances of the two single-seaters from the German team. “The fastest driver is a reference for the other,” commented Michael Schumacher in a German magazine. ?You analyze his data, but it didn?t work as well in the other car. Looking at this, there were several things wrong with my car. »

Michael Schumacher did not want to talk about it during the season so as not to add media pressure on his team, but he is taking advantage of the off-season to put things straight. "I didn't want to talk about it publicly, I rather tried to discuss it within the team," he said. “The underside of the car sometimes burned because the exhaust was so hot. »

The former pilot Ferrari is expecting a more competitive car for next season but he remains confident for 2011. “I had no problem with Nico, but I told Norbert (Haug) and Ross (Brawn) that it was time to find explanations. But we are progressing really well thanks to Mercedes? commitment. If things go well, we will win races. »
