THe changes that need to be made for next year (although they have tried to do this in the past), is to close the gaps between the different teams.
It seems that this year there was a clear order as to which teams had the best cars:
- Redbull by a mile. I don't believe they had the best drivers, but as far as the cars go, other teams couldn't come close.
- Mclaren are still way behind Redbull, but only managed to stop an even wider gap by having far superior drivers (even if Lewis does occasionally push his luck)
- Ferarri probably aren't that far behind Mclaren, but their drivers are. This showed when Lewis came to Mclaren and showed him how to drive.
- Mercedes. It was unlikely that they would be able to maintain their form that they showed in their first year as Brawn GP. But they are still hanging in there. I think they could probably do better if they didn't have a driver who used to be great, but is now more of a has been.
- Renault are bringing up the rear of the top teams, but will have to watch out for Force India snapping at their heels.
