Mercedes GP: Ready to move forward

They were expected to create waves after their championship winning run in 2009, especially since Michael Schumacher joined their ranks, but that didn't happen. All eyes are now on the new car W02 to turn things around. (Getty Images)

Schumacher once again teams up with compatriot Nico Rosberg, while Ross Brawn remains at the helm. Anyone with little knowledge would know the Brawn-Schumi combination is capable of. (Getty Images)

Schumi has stated that he believes the team is on the right track and Mercedes will soon become a championship contender. But, whether they are already there will be clear only after the season begins. (Getty Images)

Schumi has also said that although he expects to have a better season than 2010, he's not thinking about the title yet. He added that he has been realistic about his chances after the comeback. (Getty Images)

Rosberg has proved his credentials by not only consistently outpacing his more experienced team-mate, but also scoring nearly double his points. (Getty Images)

He may have a hot girlfriend in Vivian Sibold and a very cool social life, but that is not going to be enough to propel him into the A-league. For that he needs to get more wins under his belt. (Getty Images)

Schumi can blame the car for not being among the title contenders, but there can be no excuse for coming 2nd to a much younger team-mate. The 7 time champion knows he needs to do better and outpace Rosberg. (Getty Images)

The Brawn-Schumi combination has always been a lethal one and it wouldn't be wrong to expect the duo to come up with a winning car, sooner or later. (Getty Images)
