repost:

Looking at year on year BOP for Spa (2017 vs 2018), Ford and Porsche have near identical BOP to last year. The Porsche is actually 4-5 kg heavier this year at Spa. The ford is 2-3kg heavier. Restrictors and Boost Ratios are near identical to last year as well.

What has changed is Ford and Porsche qualified and are racing 3 seconds faster than last year with near identical BOP to last year. Ferrari are actually the only ones to have brought and evolution aero package, and they are a bit slower than last year.

I don't really think anyone has been advantaged or disadvantaged from year on year at Spa with BOP. However, I do think ACO should have responded to the gap seen at the prologue. Ford and Porsche have found pace this year that didn't come from BOP adjustments.
