Are you guys serious?
Lowndes is one of the best development drivers going around. Seton's not bad, but he's not a fan of the electronic age. It's no coincidence that as data-logging became more instrumental in set-up, Seton became less and less competitive. It wasn't just about money, infrastructure or resources.
Look at PWR. Brighty's a quick driver, but without computers he'd be lost. Weel is just useless when it comes to devlopment.
They set up by number crunching. They take in masses of data and use that to set the car up. Brighty tells them whether it feels good or bad, if it's understeering or oversteering and the stopwatch tells them if it's fast. There team engineer doesn't even watch him on the track when testing, he stays in the garage and watches the computer.
And it works.
