...and another one bites the dust!
Pending budget, will HAAS go for a downwashing setup too, making for a 100% downwashing grid?
It is curious that the various "altnerative" designs seen during the 2022 launch season did not show more promise -- or maybe they did and they still have more potential, but the teams have selected short-term gains from adopting the "norm" instead for some reason?!
Of course, some might say (as with Mercedes) "if you were going to move to a Red Bull type design, why didn't you do it at the start of the season when you had a chance to bring an entire new car, without compromises of modifying an existing car"? Not doing so in the first place doesn't make that much sense!
Could it be that both teams, Ferrari and Mercedes, erroneously thought their 2023 launch designs would be more competitive in the competition amongst the top four teams having not anticipated a deficit to the leading teams Red Bull and Aston Martin?
