Can you think of a better car to copy? ;)
To be honest I think the chassis that RBR had last year was if anything better than the MercQuote:

Newey essentially trained all those people so I suspect they will be ok. If the new car is problematic I am sure Newey will come back for as long as it takes to get them competitive.
Here's the only video I could find from the test......

He was in Jerez giving interviews to the press about the car yesterday, I wonder how big a "step back" he has really taken.Quote:

But guess that Mercedes is probably going to dominate again.
McLaren-Honda was always in for a slow start. Let's see how much can they iron out issues and improve for the start of the season. They have the steepest learning curve.
It is never easy to replace geniuses. Otherwise all the students of a genius would also be genuises. But it really doesn't work like that in the real world - there are a few geniuses and usually students to not match up to that talent.Quote:

To be honest. I must add I have never been so unexcited about the start of a new season/testing/etc. Because I feel that nothing interesting is going to happen this year and mostly a continuation of the 'same old' from last year. Everything is too "predictable". Mercedes will win anyway. Behind them we have the usual strong teams. And lower down the field our small privateer teams, who lack finances and struggle to survive.
