A few questions:
1. How much will the floor cuts for 2021 hurt Red Bull compared to Mercedes? I know that Red Bull has a shorter wheelbase and higher rake than Mercedes, but who is it more likely to affect?
2. Why has Red Bull made the decision to develop the RB16 all the way until the end of the season, when Mercedes decided to stop development of the W11 months ago?
1. Because all the decisions to seemingly give more equal competition...
...does hurt Merc the least.
a. Nose section; they developed the cape in anticipation, it hurt all teams with a rake most.
b. Floor section; they already got the most Down Force and Engine (still not maximized in performance), this also hurts team with a rake the most...
* But it will give teams an idea for the development of the 'new F1 car' and if there designs could work.
2. Merc moves development as soon as they can calculate the championship is within reach.
More then logical to do it. Why put in resources when you don't really need it.
a. Let it seems like its a fair competition between teams to the outside world.
Let some other teams be on the podium...folks will remember the 'final' part of the season.
b. Get a head start in comparison to other teams
