Come now marcush, you can't ask for too much with only a 400 staff...
hehe..I would have some very inconvenient questions rolling for quite a while if i were Ross or Bob or anyone senior in the Mercedes camp.
It´s just bizarre to stick with the wrong layout for half a season when you can change with minor effort.They could do it now ,Mclaren could do it from race 1 after experiencing a horror winter ....but you are right ..with 400 headcount it´s almost impossible -imagine a whole pair of exhaust tailpipes 4 atachment points to the floor and some differnet heatprotective coating .No.Impossible.
Considering the few information we get as armchair enthusiasts ,my impression is
that there are very few people in that team who actually have a pair of seizable balls in their trousers .And take decisions when it´s needed.
Whole s..t they made such a big fuzz about their final configuration car onbly to conclude after half a season it´s a bunch of crap and starting afresh doing a copy of what they found in the bin at Mercedes engines from what MCL and Force india have done ages ago..It does not take THAT long to evaluate the merits of both systems does it? but of course when all your 400 specialists are occupied with more important evaluations...sometimes you need to decide and bring forward
urgent developmeents even thogh you have other work in progress ...-you need to decide what is giving you more benefit.Now they found the limit of their midship exhaust as claimed by Brawn..and it seems the first itaration of the RBR stile is better than this.. so thats 7 or 8 races for the bin.
