I thought it would end up like this because there was no room for anyone to provide an equaliser so the problems were going to be problems all year.
However Mercedes have done the best job. If Honda have an advantage in 2015 will Mercedes change their mind?
The rules are the rules they signed up to but they always want to change them to suit themselves. Mercedes is not selfish nor cowardly. they are in a competition and you play by the rules.... That is what they are doing. Competing. They just did it better in 2014 than anyone else did.
You wouldn't give your competitors an advantage by changing the rules in their favour in any other competition so why here?
We would like more equal engines but not a cost/development war so any change to the rules has to incremental and very carefully considered.
