can you elaborate further on why a team can get on top of that type of issue?
They'll just get to learn about suspension and overall setup with laps on track and massive simulator work. Also, the aero side of their issues will get better as well as they learn about their car. They are 8x WCC, 7x WDC team in the last 8 years, they have huge resources and this nothing they can't eventually handle quickly. My own suspicions are they are bluffing even now and will be up there in the race, but even if it takes them as much as 2-3 races to sort out, they will.

Would there be any discernible difference in pressure above the diffuser between the Ferrari and Mercedes concept?
I'd say on top you could have coeff. of pressure (Cp) peaks of 0.1-0.2 at most. Not including area ahead of the beam wing of course. Bellow, peaks could go as low as -3, maybe even -4. That's a difference of 20-30 times. So I don't think any two cars out there have too big of a Cp difference on top of the floor.
