Indeed, and the 2009 season may be a good illustration of what I was getting at with regard to the speed at which top tier and wealthier teams can respond to the innovations and advantages of their opposition. in the first half of the season Brawn looked set to run away with the championship. However, once the opposition accepted that the DD wasn't going to be banned and that they had to copy it they quickly closed the performance gap. Hence by the end of the season it was a much harder fought and tighter competition with Brawn effectively losing the development battle to Red Bull.
