Mercedes have made it a priority to improve their W04's performance in hot conditions after both Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton struggled badly for pace in the first stint of Sunday's Bahrain GP.
Dealing with rear tyre degradation has been a long-time problem for Mercedes and Brawn added: "We must make it a priority to cope better with elevated temperatures: the tyres are the same for everybody and we are not performing as well as our competitors in these conditions."
