So if they can go from laughing-stock to WC in 6 seasons, what do you think a colossal force like Mercedes could do with the weight of Petronas behind them? Especially as they will be way ahead of the curve when it comes to 2014, and they are one of only two teams that build their own engines.
What made it possible for RBR? Adrian Newey.
