True, but the performance adjustments should counter balance for the works team upgrades (which towards the end of the season should be minimal anyway). The gap's come down a little bit, but for them to achieve anything overall in regular race it still requires for works cars to either retire or stay in the garage for 10 laps, plus for Rebellion to have perfect run on top of that.
Regardless - and even if their start of the season goals haven't gone to plan - it's commitment worth of saluting, year after year
