the pattern continues
on a slight off topic note but related
so what's going on with Mercedes
Why are they not at the very sharp end of the grid with the likes of RBR Ferrari and now behind Lotus?
they have all the resources in the world and a strong racing heritage as well as a decent racing pedigree in many other series
Why has lotus leapfrogged them, and why can't they get their development better?
This is the 2nd year in a row that their rear end issues are coming up again.
I though it would have been sorted out this winter.
Is the issue with the design team?
How can you make the same fundamental mechanical error 2 years in a row?
they probably have twice the budget as Lotus, and probably somewhere near RBR's
I can understand the mclaren problem as they only build a good car every other year, but I know by mid season they will get their act together and probably win a race or two
Mercedes on the other hand seem to have a development ceiling.
Perhaps they should have spent more time recruiting engineers and such rather than spend all their resources on getting a 6 headed hydra team managment system.
All those guys do nothing for the race performance of the car and only had layers of confusion, especially in decision making.
