No one is solely responsible in the way you are thinking. They don't work like other teams do who have multiple TD's - or did. Like Macca used to alternate who designs the car. Merc don't do that, they pass the design along.
Geoff Willis looks into concepts and lays down the foundations before he passes it on to Costa who oversees that actual design of the car. So Geoff will already be working on the w06 which Costa will most likely start taking on half way through this year. I'd expect Willis to already be doing very early concept work on the w07 as well.
Bob Bell over sees both areas.
Someone else might be able to correct me if i'm wrong.
But this is why the w04 and now the w05 are much better cars because they have gone through this process. (maybe the w05 is the first car to go through it completely - they have been working on it for 2/3yrs)
