Love F1 , but with the engine freeze its a joke. Mercedes have done a fantastic job with development but give the other teams a chance. Open up testing and engine development , pure prototypes and racing at its best. Never liked Le Mans but it's looking more acceptable every day.

I never said it was Mercedes fault, they have done a fantastic job but take Honda as a point. They have had to build a engine from scratch and submit the spec to the FIA by a certain date, that engine is now frozen bar the engine credits. There is no way in this world they will develop that engine as a race winner this year or next. Allow free engine development and the engine suppliers would eqaulize much quicker. Engine power, reliability is winning races at the moment rather than aero, good driver help as well. F1 is a show but the show only contains two cars capable of winning at the moment bar reliability, accidents. Boring!

Thanks for the link to Autosport! As I said bar engine development credits which I belive Honda have 9. Engines can only be developed to a certain degree , hence Moro Gp going 4 stroke, and the dropping of F1s last engine, rule shake ups are good and I agree teams do dominate F1 at different times, but with current rules on testing, development etc its a 2 horse race for the foreseeable future even if you do have the budget you can't use it!
