Ok , then there's the Brits, the innovators. But they will surely be influenced somewhat but the work environment, ethos etc that surrounds them.
Italian design/ engineering is known for its heart stopping beauty. It arouses emotion. It looks gorgeous.
German design/ engineering is known for its robustness and relentless attention to detail.
If you want a car to turn heads and give you orgasms when you drive it, you'd buy a Ferrari. If you want all your needs taken care of and a car that will go on for ever, you'd buy a Merc.
Me, I'd go for the orgasm every time
But in this time of change, it's the German planning and attention to detail that has borne fruit. Ok it's not just about the engine, but that's the biggest thing that's making the difference.
I apologise for the stereotyping, but I do think elements of truth are in there.
Interesting idea, even if a little conceptualised. However that doesnt explain how RBR are ahead with a FRENCH engine. I never hear of French attention to detail or heart stopping beauty, if anything the French designers tend to give up fairly easily and throw the white towel in
I think you're both missing the fact that most of the key designers for all three teams are British
