That's fine but look at Marussia's pace now and a second or two and you will have the pace of the customer cars by the end of the year relative to the front of the field. The other part is that in 2017 when all this is due to begin (if it happens which I doubt) the new cars are due to be about 6 seconds faster at the start of the year over the previous year. So at the end of 2017 there will be a handy 10 second gap between the 'works' cars and the customers. In other words they would be lapped about every 7 or 8 laps on average.
