I assume they weren't sure which to go with, and wanted to test both designs.

Question: Is there a date, in which they have to solidify the design, or some of the design...or can they change anything they want as the year goes on?

I know of recent changes during the season (like when Max got fined for measuring the Mercedes rear wing dimensions). But Im wondering if there are restrictions to what can be changed, or if everything/anything can be changed as the season progresses.

Per James Allison, it's more an evolution of their development. They did the same in 2017 and 2019:

Quote:
Speaking at the end of the 2019 season, technical director James Allison explained the rationale behind this approach.

"We did the same thing in 2017," said Allison then. "There was a reasonable aero reg change in 2017 and we built two cars then.

"It was exactly the same rationale, knowing that at the beginning of big changes the slope is so steep a week finds you a tenth, two weeks 0.2s that could be such a big difference when you come to line up on the grid that you want to make sure that you build your final set of clothes as close to the death as possible.

"So the second week is better than first week from that point of view.

"But more importantly, if you've got everything out of the way good and early by releasing an uncompetitive set of clothes, then you have got more of your factory horsepower available to focus on the upgrade package, which means you can leave it later still.

"It might take you six or eight weeks to make a floor or whatever. If you've got more of your composites department available and more of your machining capacity available, you can do it in a shorter [time].
"So not only have you bought the extra week by going [with the final spec] to the second test rather than the first, but you've bought an extra couple by having more of your physical resource available to work on it because they are not working on everything else.

"So we did that in '17 and we judged that '19 was going to be sufficiently big a thing that it would be worth the effort again. That very clear to us at the point where our first windtunnel run [to the new rules] was 2.5s down, 25% down.

"We knew that the line would look [steep] like that and this method of working would probably reward us."

Mercedes is still seeing quite a bit of porpoising today.

Lewis looked like he was really struggling with the car today.

Mags went fastest today in Haas' extra hour of practice after everyone else was done.

Halfway through ep2 now. I love Danny Ric. He just dropped a great quote, "What if I'm just a c-nt?" I feel for the guy watching this episode. And I have been a fan of him since season one of DTS.

Count me in for one too.

But really, I thought your post was going to say if he gets a podium, you'd get that quote tattooed on you.

Yeah, ep4 was meh on the Mazepin stuff. But give me all the Guenther.

I would love to see Netflix/HBO/Amazon Prime make a Hard Knocks/All or Nothing style show about an F1 team and have Haas be the first one.

Yeah, I made it to 8 last night. Step it up!

Mazepin saying he needed them to build a different car for him was pretty great.

Agree. Good stuff.

I like how un-subtly they compare/contract Toto and Christian. Christian is happy to jump in and talk S on folks. Toto is much more reserved and circumspect.

Lol. I finished ep4 around 12:30am last night. I would have watched more if we had not gone to dinner last night. Started ep1 around 8:30.

Also having Horner be the perfect English Countyman cracks me up. I think all that is missing its him taking part in a fox hunt with a bugler.

And of course, Toto wants pumpernickel with his breakfast.

Really playing up the angle of "Toto is just a finances guy".

It will be awesome if they can move into the midfield this year - I really want to root for them and see some success after being at the back for so long.

I'd really like to see an episode or 2 dedicated to the pit crews - I'd like to know how hard this schedule is on for them, how the folks got to be on pit crews, how they train, etc, etc. I think that would be awesome.

That scene reinforced my belief that Toto is a diva. His order took something like 20 seconds and sounded so condescending. The lady next to him was decent enough to say please and thank you and ordered something simple.

There is a very good book from a couple years ago called the Mechanic that is all about that. Good read.
