I think they're still trying to setup the car to test how much more performance they can squeeze out of it. Ride height doesn't appear to be the issue anymore because the tea tray is literally about to scrape the tarmac. But there should now be a massive release of parts for Mercedes because they have appeared to fix the porpoising and now can release some of their planned upgrades. Maybe more floor upgrades to come in order to get more pace I really don't know, but there is always work to be done till all the porpoising is completely gone.
In terms of the engine I'm curious too, I have heard they have tuned some things to get some gains here and there. But I don't think they were holding back early on, and the only time we might see some real gains in engine performance is when they release their electrical upgrades.
