Well between the penalty and the fact that they naturally get less time because of their championship position, teams like McLaren would have had almost 50% more testing time. This and the fact that updates on this year's car carry over to the next in my opinion nullify the advantage RB got from stopping upgrades early. What is an issue for other teams is that with the design team that RB has, I back them to make better improvements than the others even if the testing time allocated for next year by all the teams is the same
It's the Mercedes era all over again. The dominant design formula is determined and everybody is a year behind the team the came up with the formula.
It'll become closer and closer so Red Bull need a strong second driver so they can't lose on strategy.
