Ross Brawn has assumed responsibility for Mercedes having yet to win a grand prix since returning to the sport in 2010.
Mercedes bought out the Brawn team which had won the 2009 driver's and constructor's championships, and tempted Michael Schumacher out of retirement alongside Nico Rosberg to spearhead its challenge for victories. Mercedes has only managed three podium finishes since then, however, and Brawn admitted that he has made some errors in his team management.
"Yes, I've made some mistakes," Brawn told Bild. "My choices were not always perfect, the transition (from Brawn GP to Mercedes) has taken too long. At the factory we undertook two difficult tasks in parallel: correcting the problems with the car and simultaneously making improvements to the structure in order to avoid problems in the future."
Brawn refused to place any blame on the shoulders of the drivers, and said that despite doing very well out of the sale of the team bearing his name at the end of 2009, he would not be satisfied until Mercedes is successful.
"[The drivers] have done a good job and at the moment they can't get any more out of the car... We will reap the rewards in the future. Certainly, my family and I are secure financially, but I will not stop until Mercedes is winning races again."
