On the other hand you have you tail enders: Force India, Honda, and Williams (Hurts me to say Williams is on this list btw)
For these teams, the season ended long ago and the towel was thrown on 08 so 09 became the focus before Sept. That is why i posted the 2009 Williams car back on Sept 18.
That is not to say the big teams are not working on both cars, but it is saying your resources come to the task at hand and a championship fight is the primary concern.
