They think do more testing and do more developments and the cars will be a lot better.
Have you ever thought about that there is a major difference if 120 to 200 people work on a car with a budget between 100 to 220 million euro and 15 to 30 people and a budget of 4 to 10 million euro.
Rebellion and Bykolles did all they can do to make progress. Rebellion concentrate this season to make their car reliable while ByKolles try to eliminate their design flaws. But both teams can only do one thing after the next. They don't have the ressources to develop several elements on the car and go testing.
ByKolles has made a large step forward with the new aero on the Ring and was clearly faster than Rebellion.
You hit on the team for three fires. All there caused by troubles with the AER engine and also Rebellion run into engine trouble at the Ring once more.But you blame the teams. What can they do? Nothing !!!
Btw Bykolles is considering an engine switch for 2017.
I am glad to have two strong private teams in LMP1 which hold up the flag. Both teams will run in 2017 with further improved cars.
Take your hats up guys and show some respect to this small teams. They took up the challenge and fight while others like Onroak, Gibson or Strakka don't try it. Large respect to ByKolles and Rebellion.
You really would more help this teams by supporting them then talking pure nonsens !!!!

If you were to do your homework, you would discover all the Kolles fires, were caused by team realated preparations issues, rather than any problems with the AER engine.
Also, perhaps ask both teams what is ther engine budget? I would not mind betting, both are only wanting the "bargain basement" egine deal, and I do not think either Rebellion or Kolles do much in the way of proper testing? So as always in life, what you pay, is what you get!
Perhaps Kolles is changing engines because he has found a cheaper deal,
l or maybe AER doesn't want to deal with anymore
