No question, development was the intent. But it always seemed ridiculous to me to introduce a totally new car, and limit the budget for all teams to what Williams spent in 2019 at the same time. Getting it wrong was going to be a killer.
Meanwhile, "smaller teams" have the likes of Schumacher and Latiffi, who aren't cheap on chassis!  |
That's no excuse considering other teams like Alfa and Alpine accounted for possible hiccups in planned budgets. These teams have enough professionals to plan better. I have no sympathy for them.
