Brawn: “Hamilton just needs time”

Ross Brawn the state of apparent impasse he is experiencing Hamilton when compared with Rosberg, author of three consecutive poles and a victory in the last GP in Monte Carlo, should not cause concern. Still in the blind man's buff phase regarding the knowledge of the team, for the Mercedes team principal, the Englishman only needs to get a little carried away and measure up to his new reality.

“I believe it's a question of time, of complete harmony with the team – the opinion given to Autosport – Nico has been with us for a few seasons now and knows perfectly well who to talk to for any specific problem or doubt, Lewis however, it is under development regarding this aspect. For our part, we have supported him with a rather experienced and qualified working group, so I would say that it's just a matter of having a little patience. After Monaco we encouraged him by telling him that he hadn't been good enough and I think it was a good encouragement for him and the whole team. We want to see our riders close together, pushing each other. We do not accept submissive characters ready to settle for second place. The required target is always to improve, to try to get the most out of the package available, from the car, from themselves and from the team."
