But we don't really know yet what constitutes for what.
LM 2018 and 2019, given that there's no "official off season" between them, surely they will have to allow some kind of changes to occur and not freeze everything completely.
And as for later seasons, assuming the future "off-season" will only be like 3-4 months during the summer if the new season starts in September or whatever, will they really be restricting all major development for the next years LM ~9 months in advance?
Let's not kid ourselves, the real goal of everyone is and has always been LM, the rest is just small bonus and/or practice on the side. There will be some sorry faces if program X is possibly doomed year in advance already... ESPECIALLY if you have major 4 month winter gaps in your calendar when nothing occurs, like we have now (I know that the original plan for 18-19 was to have race in January, but that too would've constituted in gap during fall instead)
