Mercedes motorsport director Norbert Haug hit back at criticism coming from within the Stuttgart based company in recent weeks, insisting that the German manufacturer has taken the best path to the future in terms of Formula One commitments.
Soon after Daimler AG pulled their support from Team McLaren, some of the voices within the company’s board of directors argued that this would have been a great opportunity for Mercedes to quit the sport completely. Instead, Mercedes bought more than 75 percent of Brawn GP and began its own new team in the series. Needless to say, the move was intensively criticized internally.
In addition to that “costly move”, as argued by a member of Daimler’s supervisory board and Corporate Works Council Erich Klemm, the team then employed Michael Schumacher for an alleged 7 million euro retainer per season. Again, a supervisory board member Uwe Werner argued that the move was “hard to justify” in times of economic regression such as these.
