Gerhard Berger: Toto Wolff got the chance to prove myself

The first two days of the winter test in Jerez was a disaster for Mercedes: due to technical problems with the new machine Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton drove in two less than thirty laps. However, the former Formula 1 driver Gerhard Berger believes that personnel changes in the team and an invitation Toto Wolff may have a positive impact on the results of a Mercedes.

Gerhard Berger: "In Mercedes had to change something, because in the last few years the results and reliability left much to be desired. Yes, last year they won the race, but in General the results were unimpressive. The Mercedes is the best motor in the Formula 1, however, the team failed to create a car that seriously would have fought for the title.

Toto Wolff got a good chance to show themselves, and I believe he will cope with the challenge. He had close ties with Mercedeshe is familiar with the structure of the sports division. In addition, Toto will be able to use the experience gained in Williams.

The Mercedes is one of the best pairs of pilots and a great engine that's left is to build a competitive car. This Red Bull for all is a landmark, and the opponents are forced to take risks in order to catch up with them. In Mercedes bet on personnel changes. Later we will see as to whether these steps.
