Looking at the setup options you see in the update, for now that is suspension, gearing priority and aerodynamics. All areas pretty much have big differences of which the gearing is the biggest followed by aero and suspension.
I would say the update is going to close the gap between the two drivers
Soft suspension Neutral Gears & Areo
They should be working together to get best setup for the car not going their own way :D
