These ten teams spent an awful lot of money revolutionising their designs to keep things exactly as they were from Abu Dhabi. Apart from Alpine who took the winter off.
@chainbear Price of the cost cap. Teams can only do so much... Order won't change unless the rules do.
@chainbear I think the cost cap prevents teams trying very different solutions to aero issues in CFD, then scale wind tunnel models. Hence we end up with everyone copying the leading car as much as possible.
@chainbear Alpine would be faster if their design team had the winter off and they just used last year's car!
@chainbear I bet the cars would be more different if it wasn’t for the stupid cost cap
@chainbear Me looking for the value Alpine are adding to F1 instead of Andretti...
@chainbear More staff have fallen on their sword this weekend
@chainbear Can't even paint most of the cars either.
