Brawn-Mercedes, Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello, free to compete snatch victory and the title of world champion. There are no team orders. The message was delivered by a team boss, Ross Brawn, after Spanish Grand Prix Sunday (10 / 5).
In that race, there is the suspicion that Brawn began gave priority to Button. Because, when Barrichello led at the beginning, Brawn change the Button’s strategy and helped win in the end.
About that, Brawn says there is no discrimination against Barrichello. Both drivers start the race with the same strategy, then both of them (along with each engineer) go free as fast as they can.
Changes in the Button’s strategy called is just not to help that UK driver. Also to ensure there are Brawn drivers who finis in front of Felipe Massa (Ferrari) and Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull-Renault).
The prediction is, demolished Brawn, Barrichello still win. Unfortunately, after the second pit stop (from three scheduled), Barrichello’s car is not as fast as expected. “He was less fortunate. Tire does not perform according to expectations at that time. Makes he loss of victory,” said Brawn.
Barrichello also stressed that he does not complaint about that. He recognizes the tire’s performance does not match expectations. “I’m disappointed not to win after having the good weekend. But, I am a positive person. I believe that my victory will come in the near future,” he said.
After the Spanish GP, the title of world champion is already a realistic target for the Brawn-Mercedes. However, they did not want to hurry said that they want the champion of the world. Nick Fry, CEO of the team, said that his side will still be careful for the rest of the season race by race.
“Every day is a new day. We will try to always provide the best,” he said.
