Using Mercedes as an example. Going from 1 to 4 or down the ladder. Shouldn’t its own car performance be AT LEAST as good as previous years?
What changes year to year that the data they have or previous winning cars cant be used?
Thanks 🙂

Teams make updates to their cars throughout the year. Some teams’ updates are more effective than others. Some teams spend more time and budget on mid-season updates. Others spend their budgets on other things. Some teams’ advancements are very effective. Others not so much. While it is rare that a car’s performance moves backwards it is possible. Sometimes they get things wrong.
And thats just concerning mid-season updates. Every year they make tweaks to the rules that force teams to innovate within the ever-changing regulations. some years these are minor changes. Other years they require completely redesigning the cars.
And in Mercedes case, its because they got comfortable dominating with an untouchable car and got the new car completely wrong. So now they’re just complaining about Red Bull domination and whining like they’re so mistreated when its their own damn fault they engineered it wrong and their savior Hamilton is being shown to actually be an absolutely mediocre driver with a bad attitude. Something many of us knew for years.
