had Perez fitted the hards at his first stop, could he have made it to the end i wonder? surely the hards could have lasted longer then Max or LH had used them for?
RB's willingness to implement 2 different weekend programs and race strategies for their drivers is a direct challenge to Merc's rules of engagement. obviously Merc need VB to do more to break things up at the front/give them some more options.
bit of a side thought...
of course they still have the lead in the constructors, but i do wonder that with the budget cap in place, it is surely not as important to win the constructors. rather with a smaller budget does the prize drop from 1st to 2nd matter as much?
maybe even be to the point where the marketing benefits of winning the drivers title while losing the constructors outweighs the decrease in prize revenue?
