Shall I respond with another remark with the same purpose? Like, so wnut, would you prefer every just has a spec. engine and car? I know that's not really what you are getting at, so why would I? I'd be more interested in sensible discussion that actually moves on from continual inaccurate remarks about suppliers being unfair.
I presume you did get my meaning. My point was that there is no real issue with teams getting different spec. engines and hasn't been for years. Especially from Mercedes who you appear to have a problem with. It's not even on the radar of things that could actually make a difference and improve F1.
But, as you bring it up and this is an appropriate thread, I'd rather change F1 so it is less aero dependent for potential to race and open up the regs for more innovation. It is likely that would spread the field out, but the sport would be more pure in its ultimate aim to find the best. Similar to Paradise City's comment above. And when someone, with or without a bespoke engine, catches another car they can get past. Perhaps it makes me sound old and just want to hark back to the old days.
I think the transparent scrutineering in NASCAR is definetely good for NASCAR. I'm not so sure about F1. Although maybe they can make them all park on a grassy paddock so that it would be naturally more open. See
