Horner said there was only a small area you could really work on over the course of the winter which means Mercedes could easily save their dominant form for next year. Since the percentage of allowed improments will continuously sink over the coming years, there will be smaller and smaller chance for a comeback for Renault and Ferrari.
If you think that we should unfreeze the eninge freeze, which do you think would be the appropriate way to do that?
I wouldn't believe Horner when he snores during sleep. I do love the panic though. NO, neither Ferrari, nor Renault deserve more than they bargained for, just to answer your original question. They proved to be dumb, ineffective, and most of all, bloody arrogant. When it did not suit them they pissed on their very own, agreed upon RRA, did not live up to their word, two years later stood up and left FOTA without ever looking back, left the rest of the teams to roast, and now they whine about something they can thank only themselves for. Ferrari is incompetent, and Red Bull is NOT Renault. Saying that, I am fairly sure that they will reach an agreement with Mercedes fairly soon, because unlike Ferrari or RB, Merc indeed will take into account the sporting aspects. A few more weeks of squirming, crawling, and asking nicely will do both companies some good. that is the only thing they deserve.
