It seemed that merc ran the car a little higher to avoid plank wear. That would explain why they struggled even though they bolted a high downforce setup. Anyway it puts to rest the theory that they did not gain anything from running a illegally low setup in Austin.
Not really sure about that. Merc has been really inconsistent in performance, especially on sprint weekend... But this was definitely an abysmal weekend... We shall see how they perform next to confirm if low ride height did aid them..but would not be surprised...if that's the case as well...
