Chief technical officer, Mike Gascoyne, added, "Since I arrived at Spyker three months ago, I've been looking carefully at the technical department to put in place the personnel, procedures and resources that will give the team structure; already we've doubled our aerodynamic resources with a second wind tunnel and dedicated team in Italy. As a team we're looking at planning for the future through a more structured approach by prioritising key aspects that will give a big improvement rather than small, gradual steps. I'm looking forward to seeing the results of the changes in the second half of the season when we deliver an improved B-spec package."

This hasn't been "Gascoyned" - he's had nothing to do with, but is intending a b-spec mid season.


No- the point was that this is his strategy every time. You end up with a slow car at the start. A dog slow car in the middle and a not-quite-so-slow doggish car at the end of the season. Whilst all the other teams keep adding little bits at a time and remaining competitive.

Goscoyne always bleats on about 'building infrastructure' in the design team, then conveniently excuses his car for being sh*t by saying the B spec later in the season will be better.
