I think the real benefit in unlimited testing is the ability to develop the software for the blackbox, and then test the combined performance of all the running parts with the new software characteristics together with the different tyre compounds on offer. It's just that sometimes we read about the teams testing how the diff reacts to the new software, so there must be a lot of testing we know little about. Brakes, TRAX, suspension settings, who knows? There are so many variables to test to extract that extra .01 seconds per lap, that it is worth the rich teams to do the extra R&D.
As for the third entry for the schlocky teams, I would say we only permit this for the teams who are accepting the Friday testing option.
