DrDamn It’s a good question. There is consistency in the rules next year, so unless they’re going with a whole new aero concept, wouldn’t they want to bring parts when they’re available? Ferrari were also quick at the start of the season in places like Bahrain. I think Ferrari, like a few other teams (Haas!), have struggled to get the tyres to work, which has been a contributing factor to their hit and miss performances. They were nowhere in USA.
Another thing I dislike in this era of F1… The Pirelli tyres!
