Ross Brawn has admitted Mercedes have work to do to improve the reliability of their W04, with the team still unsure what caused Nico Rosberg's engine to fail in the Hungarian GP.
Mercedes' three DNFs with Rosberg's car mean they have suffered more race-ending failures than any of three chief rival teams in the championship battle. Brawn says the Brackley outfit will use the latest problem in Hungary to further strive to improve their processes. "Reliability is a critical thing for Formula 1 teams and we're always endeavouring to improve it, to improve the systems, to improve the quality control, improve our inspection, and improve our review process," he explained. "You just go through this loop all the time of getting to a level and then deciding how you can improve it. We're not good enough yet but the priority for the team and everybody is making a massive effort to improve it - not just trying to work harder, but work more intelligently as well."
