Interesting what Ross Brawn says about Ferrari.
Ross openly says his favorite driver @ Merc is Nico over Lewis! If he was still there Lewis would be driving a DNF special. Ross would try but never get Lewis to do an extra pit or move over for his boy Nico! Watching races without #1,#2 drivers preferance is what makes F1 races still exciting, drivers fighting for points and podiums. Isn't that what F1 racing is all about?

I don't think Ross Brawn is ruthless enough to replace Bernie.

Ross's new book, "Total Competition: Lessons in Strategy from Formula One"
I hope Ferrari buy a copy ;)
When a driver doubts s call like a pit stop; he's paying attention big time to what's going on in his beind the wheel estimation, and can maybe do what he think's best at the moment. Again, he's behind the wheel! Enter a Ross: "You signed a contract! Your getting paid by the team! " Do what your told! Terrible mentality. Even Bernie disagrees with that mentality, let the drivers race. Even our boy Kimi says "Leave me alone, I know what I'm doing!" Fan to Ross: Relax at home, enjoy the races on TV!
But there are times when the driver can't know what other drivers are doing. The pitwall has more info. A driver may think his times are great, but doesn't realize the guy that pitted for new tires is 2 sec a lap faster. Or if they pit on a certain lap, he can exit into clear air rather than behind slower cars.

I agree with everything you posted. As long as those are the circumstances where driver and pit wall info is for the win with regards to either team driver. I was mainly reffering to Ross and IMO how he has his favorite driver, and the info is say an extra pit or a let him pass so as to help his guy win. Your post is %100 on the $$
