mercedessurearepopular : I don't think you could be more wrong...
Red Bull is using considerable budget re-writing the software for their dumplump..
Newey is staying involved in the car...
They will be much closer to merc next year...
Newey is going to be seriously involved in Ainslies America's cup challenge next year and the Renault is, supposedly, 75hp down, so no amount of sourcecodetrickery is going to get that all up and matching. Let's also remember noises abound that mercy have made a leap forward themselves with their PU for 2015 too.
I am rather hoping if this loop hole is allowed to be used by Ferrari and Renault, that Mercedes do it too, so start the season with the 2014 unit and rinse them with that, whilst continually developing the 2015 unit so when they homologate that, it continues the trend.
I can't see past Hamilton and Mercedes dominating next year, really can't. As good as Rosberg is, he's clearly from a different cut of cloth than Hamilton.
