And I think that is by far merc's weakest point.
I still think they will get that car sorted (to me it's more a question of when than if, even with this year's severely strong rules about budget caps, test/windtunnel time, engine freeze etc), but they make (and have made) such stupid mistakes that have cost them the win or points multiple times (I'm also talking about previous years).
They just don't really seem to learn from them. (ok, Russel hasn't made real mistakes yet I think)

They definitely have good race tactic history. First and foremost they need to get porpoising under control. Then and only then can they address other deficiencies in the car. I guess the $25k question is, how much are they losing to porpoising alone.
