Cos none of the other teams used renders of a showcar??

Each of those teams has proven that they had a real car in Barcelona last week. The FW48 is practically vaporware. Showing fake renders at this stage is a symptom of wider issues. Let's hope there's a car in Bahrain...

They have already said there will be. They also ran a Virtual Test program using a complete car.

LawVs gives some pretty good arguments for why this could actually end up being a useful experience for the this year. Obviously running in the Shakedown would have been preferable, but this may not be as big a disadvantage as it at first appears.

Oh brother.

They'll rock up to Bahrain just as scheduled.

Why must there always be a spin on it? There's nothing positive to take from missing the shakedown. Anyone selling positives has a low opinion of their audience. This is bad.

The way I read it is that it was definitely a negative to miss the test but the tools they have now and with all of the data from the other Mercedes runners, they are able to mitigate some of it.

Yes, nothing positive, but also not the end of the world.

sometimes it is better to stay home

PS: I actually see no big drama in missing the first Circuit de Catalunya test. they will soundly beat Audi and Cadillac still.

I don't either. Regardless, I would hope they'll be able to beat more than just Cadillac and Audi by the end of the season. Going backwards wouldn't be optimal.

The FW48 lives.
