Waché is not the new A.Newey...

I'm pretty sure you mean the RB20...
Horner said they tracked the car problems back to the Barcelona floor update to the RB19. Clearly they have carried either the same floor, or a similar design, onto the RB20.

It's always a very bad sign if you had to remove all your new upgrades .
That's what they had to do , to make the car drivable again .
In other words : Back to ZERO and a new shot in the dark...

IMHO, it won't be easy to close a 30 sec. race pace gap and to make the tires last forever like the Papaya bullet car .

Agreed, hopefully they can figure it out... but I guess my bigger point is, RB admitted that's when they started the screw up, and if you look at the race results, aside from Checo's crash in Monaco, he had been doing really well up until that point, trading wins with Max. The car took a turn for the worse at that point and while Max was able to drive around the issue, Checo wasn't. If they can fix this, we could see a return to form for Checo. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
