Bench racing is fun!  |
The rate of development and testing behind closed doors in complete secrecy is relentless during the race season. Like an arms race with 1000's of people flat out trying to add performance to their teams cars, 0.02sec here, another 0.02 there to catch up other team's, stay ahead of other teams or just to qualify within the 107% cut off.
What you see on the track during Fri. is just the tip of the iceberg due to limited testing mileage.
I could discuss all day about how F1 leads in technology but somehow I don't think it would change your opinion. Sadly most of this is transparent when watching the racing which is the exposure most people have to F1.
