The team's performance dips when the track heats up, and it's not just about setup changes. There are underlying factors in the aero or suspension setup and design that Mercedes need to fix.
What do you want to bet the car is designed, built, and tested in a climate controlled human comfortable environment. Perhaps the high temperatures alter the spring rate or extension, the viscosity of certain lubricants, or tensile/ductile properties of some critical suspension component, the result being that the parts/fluids test perfect in the lab but change to unacceptable under high temps.
