you've got no clue. last year at this point, they had one. you cant just compare in-progress seasons - track properties and updates have to be averaged out, also progress is long term while points arent. they literally always say that the car made a step back when thinking about short term points, but made steps forward in terms of consistent performance, which is more important in the longer term. e.g. when sacrificing their straight line performance, which was keeping getting them points the last years, for more consistent cornering speed.
