On the surface, that's probably true. But, when you look at the facts surrounding this car and listen to or read statements made about its design, you learn that every bit of it was conceived with aerodynamics playing the single most important role, even with regard to the wholly new front suspension. Because it's all obviously compromised due to faulty research results, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that the effects of those faults might turn up in unlikely places.
I'm reminded of the integration drift of inertial navigation systems when I think of this car and the many ways in which one or two serious errors, even those in "lesser" systems, can foul up everything else along the way.
Put another way: If compromises are made to D, E and F because it's believed that those decisions will improve the effects of A, B and C to enhance the car's overall performance, those compromises become nothing but detrimental if A, B and C don't work.
