[QUOTE]Norbert Haug - Vice-president, Mercedes-Benz Motorsport:

 

Nice. Wonder if he's due for a new engine next weekend.

 

Congrats to him. Great car, great engine, great driving by Button this season.

 

This was a good accomplishment...says more about Mercedes than BGP though, we are talking about engine reliability...

 

Yes, but also the fact that they managed to WIN the races, which is not all due to the engine

 

I disagree....remember....Brawn uses their own gearboxes made by them. Those gearboxes were not designed originally for the MB engine, nor was the cooling on the bodywork. Remember they were very concerned with the cars' gearboxes in the first 2 races of the year and even pulled Rubens and Jenson off from some practices early because of issues.

Could it be that the Brawn gearbox is actually better than McLarens for this engine? Hmmmm

 

Could be...another good on them for BGP if it turns out to be the case, but since I don't think McLaren has had any gearbox problems - doubtful...

 

Honda gearbox...
