jet-
I don't think it's fair to ask the detractors- "what would you do to the car"- becuase none here has the benefit of the data the team does. Even if we did- I'm not convinced any on here would know what to do with it but the point remains, offering suggestions is futile.
Perhaps critisizing the team is not fair either but I think it's more fair than the latter. The results this year, are worse than last year and clearly contrary to what the teams own stated goals were. The history speaks for itself and it's damning.
My whole gripe is that as a manufacturer, I find it indefensible that they are struggling, more so than other teams using their engines, with basic issues such as cooling. And struggling REPEATEDLY. It's not like they got the design wrong, got to testing and realized their mistake and fixed it. Their repeatedly changing the band-aid, at the possible expense of pursuing other enhancements. theyv'e been doing this for months.
If they are this ineffective at addressing heat dissipation- when every other team on the grid has come to grips with it (save redbull on the KERS)- then their isn't much hope that they'll effectively tackle other more daunting tasks like improving down force, mechancial grip, tire freindliness, balance, or even developing a larger setup sweet spot. Not only is the car a midfield car, the teams development ability appears to be even worse.
