Thanks BJ, good article.

"By going to a car that has an enormous amount of downforce and a very complex aerodynamic shape, in our opinion it will make overtaking more difficult. That's our fear at this moment." Albert Costa; Mercedes

"We want to win next year, but we also dream of winning through a big rule change.
"That would be fantastic for us as an organisation. It would be a demonstration of really strong engineering."
