But here’s the thing, Jenson Button has the experience acquired from Brawn GP and from working with the man himself. So he prolly knows a thing or two in what Brawn did differently in that championship winning year. 2009 was it? I mean what else would Williams hire him for iin an advisory role if not for his experience.
But the task here isn't developing a car to best exploit the 2009 regulations, it's developing a car to best exploit the 2022 regulations. So the specific stuff they did back in 2009 isn't relevant any more, and I'm sure every team is already well aware of what Brawn did back then in any case.
And we should also be aware that William’s team is composed of the so called ‘super team’ at WRC who has recently just transitioned to F1. So if there’s a team who’ll most likely think outside the box, it’s them.
Yes, that's a good point.
