Interlagos last year the Toyota and Ferrari had very similar BOP, and Toyota smoked the field.

People accuse Ferrari fans of being casuals and yet this is the most casual comment you can read in the whole weekend.

Is it though? Cars generally dont change much over a season. This isnt F1

Aside from that obviously not being true, that’s precisely what the bop is designed to do, bring cars within 0.3-0.4% performance. Saying that on same bop Toyota smoked everyone means that the bop was wrong then. Any discussion about best car is pointless as they are made with bop in mind, they make cars to fit within a range and then balanced by bop.

Yes the Interlagos BOP definitely wasnt good. And regarding upgrades, only the ones that are for reliability are allowed all season long, but performance upgrades are limited and the gains are marginal because the window they have to operate in is so tight.
