08 March 2010 @ 08:30 GMT - Ian de Beer Mercedes motorsport boss Norbert Haug feels that even podiums in the early part of the 2010 F1 season is unlikely. The German manufacturer bought the championship winning Brawn GP team last year and has high hopes of doing well this season. They have also signed seven times world champion Michael Schumacher to drive for them, but Haug says the new W01 is not considered as the quickest team at the moment. Haug told a German newspaper that podium will only become a possibility later in the season. "In my opinion, we will not challenge for the podium in the first few races, but we will definitely show up afterwards," he said. Schumacher is reportedly at his home in Switzerland and will be in Bahrain for the Thursday press conference. |
