Do you know of any other sport where a 10% equipment performance advantage is deemed acceptable? I know we're discussing a sport where that advantage can be bought for 30 to 200 million dollars, so theoretically it's not unfair... but come on! What we get is a house of cards that crumbles at least once a decade, when the manufacturers who have spent enough have had their turn at a win and leave without a care for what's left behind them except their "credible" win.
That's very far from a sport where the best athletes who have put the most effort into their preparation and done a good job on the day of the actual competition stand a realistic chance, with room for unpredictability, upsets and great (and believable) underdog stories.
