Isnt it kind of weird Mercedes gets to do this, instead of a midfielder. Looking at giving them yet another head start?

Every team was given the opportunity. Only Mclaren, Renault and Merc took it this year.
Next year every team has a chance again.
Money is a factor though, as you have to build a mule car.

All the data gathered must be shared with Pirelli and All the other teams, so there shouldn't be any big advantage

RedBull and Ferrari chose not to do the test. Any "head start" given to Mercedes is on the heads of Horner and Binotto.

If indeed so than that is a mistake on their part.

Mhoa, as long as the data from Pirelli is enough to make the sim model a bit more accurate, they are good.

But what about the head start on suspension design?

All the teams are quite comfortable with their sim setups apparently. Else they would have joined the test.

Just a note on red bull they can't test because they don't have a mule car to use. Renault isn't providing them with any engines to run last years car with. But next year they can run this years car with a Honda engine in it.

I don't know what Ferrari's reason is but I imagine they don't want to be distracted while preparing next years car.

RedBull could have ran a Toro Rosso, so that doesn’t make sense.

Toro rosso could of entered yes. But then there are the questions of costs etc and if it would be worth running a "Group B" car for the test.

I imagine there wouldn't of been much point.

Looks normal already.

It's funny to think they persisted with antiquated 13” tyres for so many years...

[Wass85]

I think they look good tbh, a change is as good as a rest.

This would be useless because the TR is still different on aero compared to RB, hence false data
