Just imagine (!)
He was making up 30 kmh more than Gasly on the straight which is a big boost

Correct...It was the Mike Costin/Keith Duckworth collaboration (Cos Worth) that designed it...Ford of England wrote the check.

Not saying he'd leave because of that but because the pull to remain in F1 isn't as strong.

Indeed it was a Cosworth design.
Mike is the younger brother of Frank Costin, a renowned aerodynamics designer who co-founded Marcos Cars with Jem Marsh

I want to see him in a MB - maybe win 2 or 3 titles and then he goes to Ferrari and actually does what no other driver has or had the skill to do and bring them back a WDC.
