three packages in during 2020 and they got it wrong like so much of it was changed and so little was validated basically in terms of on track that it didn't work as they wanted it to right at the start and that's the danger here you've got um you've got the element of
lots of design and development work has gone in.
The teams will obviously be pretty confident because they'll crucially have the three actual race weekends plus a lot of testing that they'll have to reference it.
So it should all work.
But if anybody is changing their car pretty much front to back, if there are...
borderline conceptual changes in in what they're doing that does have the scope to catch you out especially because it is a brand new rule set and this will be the first time every single team has done a major upgrade within it now i don't think they'll be quite as tricky as the crown defect cars in terms of an upgrade just flat out not working and making the car worse but
But if you've got all the, any time you introduce more than one item, if they don't talk to each other the way that you're expecting to, and the car doesn't work collectively as you expect it to, trying to unpick where it's gone wrong is really difficult.

And Haas is a good example of that.
Started strongly in the midfield, good all-round car, better race car than the qualifying car.
was looking like a really solid kind of could fight for points on any kind of track.
So if he'd gone to...
to Saudi and Bahrain, you would expect Haas to be going into Miami with probably a buffer over the teams that have lower hanging fruit in the midfield.
And it'll be the same for Mercedes.
Mercedes has a very good advantage at the front.
That's clear.
It would be a surprise if somebody knocks Mercedes off its perch immediately in Miami.
But I think there is a...
