av8rirl is right. Having good straight line speed but bad corning speed produces slow lap times.
I just cant imagine a rookie team being more reliable than the established teams. I would think in their first year, of a multi-year project, they will be focusing on finishing races to collect as much data as possible. They know they cant win the championship this year, so it would be wise to learn as much as possible. You dont learn much when your car is on the run-off area during the race.
Reliability vs. Speed. They will pick reliability in order to develop the speed in the next couple of years.
