On the eve of the cup - The fire of the Mercedes and the German team

A few words of explanation, first of all, on this name of bizarre appearance and whose Spanish sounds have something strange in the country of Goethe. For it is in the country if not of Goethe himself, born in Frankfurt, but of Schiller, a Württemberg, and in Cannstadt, a small town located opposite Stuttgart, capital of Württemberg, that stands or rather stood the factory of the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft which has just been destroyed by a terrible fire.
