Mercedes GP will be racing at Silverstone, home of the 2011 British Grand Prix, also one of the team's home grand prix. Mercedes GP has had some set backs this year, but are hoping to turn things around this weekend with improved results with some new parts and upgrades.

Michael Schumacher had this to say:

Silverstone is one of our home races where we will be backed by everybody from the factories in Brackley and Brixworth, therefore we would love to do well and thank them for their hard work.
With all the changes we have this season, it is difficult for me to judge how the track will suit our car. As always, we will probably only know more after the Friday practice sessions.
We are in the process of developing further upgrades and new solutions which I am confident will help us to make a step forward again. The message for all of us is to put our heads down and work our way through, and as we are all sharing this attitude, I am sure we will get there.
Nico Rosberg:

“Silverstone is a very cool track. I’m really looking forward to all the fast corners, especially from Copse through Becketts to Stowe.
I finished third last year and I hope to have another good result, especially because so many of the people working at Brackley and Brixworth will be there with their families. This is the first of our two home Grands Prix in July, so I want to give a good performance in front of our people.
We will have a few new updates, and I’m curious to see how this will affect my car. Hopefully we can close the gap to the top a little bit.
Ross Brawn:

Silverstone is always a special weekend for our team, with the home of the British Grand Prix being located so close to our factory in Brackley and to Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines in Brixworth. It’s a great opportunity for our staff and their families to see the cars in action so close to home. Having visited the new pit and paddock complex earlier this year, combined with the layout changes implemented in 2010, I believe Silverstone is now really a venue to be proud of.
We have been working very hard on developments for the car to improve our competitive position, and I would like to take the opportunity to thank the team for the commitment they have shown.
Norbert Haug:

As one of the original rounds of the Formula One calendar since 1950, the British Grand Prix is a true classic race. The circuit at Silverstone has moved with the times and, after a new layout last year, 2011 will see the start-finish line move to its third location in the circuit’s history, as well as the introduction of a modern pits complex.
Looking to our team’s performance, we know that we are currently not in a position to challenge the top three teams in Valencia and we cannot expect that situation to turn around at Silverstone. However, a lot of hard work is being done to improve our technical package and we all will focus on achieving a decent result.
