It's doing more with less mate ! That's why the RB16 got balance issues and was tail happy over the whole season.
That's what you get when you have to drive a car with lack of power .
A compensation is really required to keep it up with the fastest car of the decade ..."The Merc W11" !


I can tell you mate : It won't be easy for "Checo" Perez , he is used to run in the "Pink Panther Merc" with higher downforce/grip and stronger PU .

Hoping with Checo for a "real" RB strategy to fight the Mercs in the front .
Personal I'm thinking the extra 40HP from the '21 HONDA and the stronger Ferrari PU won't be enough to fight with the Merc's stronger MGU-K ...
As we know , the Merc's Party-Mode and Magic-Mode are MGU-K software related .
mate having the same PU and having different parts dont make cars the same..
i hope Perez will stand for his ground..
