Brawn: We want to win races
Ross Brawn insists that this season Mercedes GP will not be content with picking with up the points left behind by the top teams.
In 2010, the team's best finish was third place, a result Nico Rosberg achieved on three occasions. However, Brawn is adamant that this year his team will stand atop of the podium.
"We want to win races this year," the Briton told official Formula One website.
"That has to be our strongest ambition. Whether we will win enough to fight for the championship, who knows. But that has to be the tangible next step for the team. We don't make promises about what we are going to do, but I clearly want the team to move forward."
While results are tangible elements with which comparisons can be made, Brawn admits his primary goal is to see the team improving on their 2010 showing.
"What is important for us as a team is that we keep moving forward," explained the team principal.
"We keep getting better each year - and by doing so we finally will succeed. Whether it is this year or next year, I don't know. The important thing is we are moving forward. Finishing fourth in the constructors' championship in 2010 was not good enough - we have to move forward.
"[Norbert Haug, Mercedes motorsport chief] has been around long enough to know that there is no such thing as overnight success.
"Everything comes from good preparation and comes from the strength of the team. It means having the right people, even having the right ambiance in the team and the right work ethic. They are all things that you build. It's not something that you can switch on overnight," he added.
