Re: Formula 1 team-Mercedes Grand Prix
Možda će zvučati neumjesno, ali jedno je sigurno. Senna neće osvojiti svoj četvrti naslov. Schumacher još uvijek vozi i vozit će bar do 2012-e, tako da šanse postoje.senamozart je napisao/la:čitajući ove gore euforićne postove (živjeli,idemo piti,pobjeda schumachera i slična sra..a)reklo bi se da je schumacher osvojio 8 naslov i ide na 9-ti.međutim nije i neće.to su samo testiranja pa se može slobodno reći da to gore što je napisano nema nikakvog smisla.naime,poštujem njegove naslove jer ih je osvojio (a na koji način to je druga stvar,moje mišljenje je drugačije) kako ih je osvojio ali moram napisati ovim gore euforičarima da je schu ostario čovjek,nema više reflekse kao vettel ili hamilton,nije to to u globalu i mislim da će se ove sezone još više udubiti.on je povijest i tamo treba ostati i čekati tko će ga skinuti (teško ali i izvedivo,poglavito mislim na vettela).razumijem ja vas euforičare ali moj savjet je da se manje radujete i da jedna lasta (testiranje) ne čini proljeće.
Što se tiče vremena na testiranjima, nisu siguran pokazatelj. Možda je u stvarnosti sekundu sporiji, a možda sekundu brži.
Ovo o refleksima i godinama nema smisla komentirati.

naravno da je preuranjeno, sve je preuranjeno... naravno da naslov nitko ne spominje, malo veselja i zabave nikom ne škodi.deda je napisao/la:kolega Sennamozart je malo pretjero al i pricanje o 8. naslovu je ipak malo pretjerano i preuranjeno!
O naslovu je neozbiljno razgovarati ( ne samo mercedesovom i schumacherevom nego biločijem u ovoj fazi). Svi se nadamo da bi se mogao boriti za pobjede, to je početak pa kasnije ako je auto sposoban za ravnopravnu borbu sa ostalima ko zna. Jedno je sigurno, ako netko zna kako se osvajaju prvenstva to je Schumi, ako se ukaže i mala prilika sigurno je neće prokockat kao neki mladi i neiskusniji vozači.
No trenutno želimo konkurentan auto i borbu za postolja! Zasada, jučer i danas to izgleda sasvim OK, ak ništa drugo daje nadu bez obzira kaj ovo nije finalna verzija automobila, sa paketom koji dolazi u Bahreinu imamo pravo nadati se da će ovo biti sasvim drugačija sezona od prošlogodišnje.

Re: Formula 1 team-Mercedes Grand Prix
Senna je osvojio naslov koji nema veze sa bodovima. A to je divljenje i poštovanje u našim ( njegovih fanova ) srcima. Ne čudi da je izabran za najboljeg vozača svih vremena u izboru ljudi koji sudjeluju u f1. Čak je i Šumi rekao da je Senna broj 1. Ali dosta o tome ovo je tema o Mercedesu i želim mu sreću i uspjehe u 2011., bez obzira na Šumija.kowalski je napisao/la:

Re: Formula 1 team-Mercedes Grand Prix
Odradil je stint od 18 krugova, očito je da su danas fokusirani na duge stintove.
Schumacher pits his Mercedes after 18 flying laps, starting out at 1m24.490s and dropping off to 1m27.728s.
Alonso je također vozio 19 krugova, zadnji krug bio mu je 1:27.423. Pretpostavljam da je količina goriva bila slična a gume iste, znači to je zaostatak otprilike 3 desetinke.
Nadoknadljivo.

Re: Formula 1 team-Mercedes Grand Prix
Ma samo ukazujem ovom provokatoru razliku između mogućeg i nemogućeg. Nerazumno je isključiti svaku mogućnost za Schu-ov uspjeh. Pogotovo kad je toliko varijabli u pitanju. Šanse mogu biti i manje od 1%, ali postoje.Dani je napisao/la:Senna je osvojio naslov koji nema veze sa bodovima. A to je divljenje i poštovanje u našim ( njegovih fanova ) srcima.

Uostalom, ionako je (senamozart) ostavio ovdje post kako bi provocirao. Referiram se na onaj dio u zagradama o zasluženosti MS-ovih naslova.

Re: Formula 1 team-Mercedes Grand Prix
Michael Schumacher was in action again today for the third day of this week's test in Jerez. The team's programme included systems checks with the adjustable rear wing, tyre evaluations with the different Pirelli compounds and development work on the balance of the car over longer runs. Another positive day in terms of reliability saw Michael complete 114 laps.
Nico Rosberg will take over at the wheel of the MGP W02 for the fourth and final day of the test tomorrow.
Michael Schumacher: "At the end of my two test days in Jerez, I can only be happy with what we have achieved here. Once again today, we completed a lot of mileage, and with the exception of some smaller issues, we ran very well which enables us to steadily progress with our testing programme. This is exactly what you want at this period of time. I am now looking forward to continuing the development at the next test in Barcelona starting on Friday."

Re: Formula 1 team-Mercedes Grand Prix
opet problemi kad je Rosberg za volanom...samo 26 krugova zasad,samo virgin ima manje čini mi se.zna li netko da li ne testiranjima svaki vozač koristi svoju ekipu ili svi skupa rade?svi znamo da na utrkama svaki vozač ima inženjere koji su zaduženi za njegov auto pa možda i na testiranjima se mijenjaju ekipe kako se mijenja vozač.po meni to ima smisla a možda tu negdje leži objašnjenje problema kad rosberg vozi a super pouzdanost kad schumi vozi...

Re: Formula 1 team-Mercedes Grand Prix
Britney o autu, planovima, nadogradnjama. Nadam se da će stvarno biti veliki korak naprijed.
Q: At the first 2011 test in Valencia Mercedes looked a bit pallid when compared to the Red Bulls and the Ferraris. However Jerez, at least for Schumacher, looked like something of a turning point…
NR: Yes, we weren’t too fast in Valencia but with Michael’s two days of running in Jerez we are obviously heading in the right direction. Despite what people believe we weren’t running in qualifying spec when he did his times – we still had a buffer. My running obviously was not so blessed. I only ran for 45 laps on the last day of the Jerez test because of a precautionary engine change. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to do as many laps as I would have liked, but overall I see a development for the better and to get better every single lap counts.
Q: What are the main issues on the car?
NR: One thing that should be made very clear is that this car that we’ve been running so far is not our Bahrain car. This car is here to improve reliability and do the maximum mileage possible. A big step will be introduced later in the test season.
Q: What will be the big step? In what areas?
NR: I am sure many would like to know that answer. Let me put it this way – it will be in all areas of the car.

Re: Formula 1 team-Mercedes Grand Prix
Nico Rosberg believes Mercedes is now much closer to solving the issues that held it back early in winter testing, having put the team on top again in today's Catalunya test.
After an ominously quiet start to Mercedes' winter, Michael Schumacher jumped to the head of the order on the second day at Jerez last week, a performance that Rosberg repeated with a rapid late lap near the end of today's session.
The German warned that Mercedes still had plenty to do, but said recent gains had boosted his confidence in the W02.
"For sure we still have some problems, but it's going in the right direction," Rosberg said. "Today we learned a lot and made some progress, so things are improving."
Mercedes had reiterated during its initial struggles that it had begun testing with a car some way off its definitive 2011 specification and would only show its true potential at the season-opener, a point Rosberg underlined today.
"It was expected that we would be struggling in the winter because the car is built mainly to test reliability and it's not there for performance," he said.
"The performance is going to come in the next few weeks and then we have to wait and see where we are."
Although the first half of today's test was affected by rain, Rosberg still felt Mercedes had managed to get plenty done.
"Generally it's been good, even on the intermediates we learned a lot and then in the afternoon on the long runs we made some good progress in the end," he said.
"We definitely learned some new things again about some new aero parts and things like that, so it's been a good day and it's all going in the right direction."
Michael is faster than you!!
