Engine manufacturer championship
Discussion
Whilst not completely even in that some manufacturers only have 2 teams to draw points from and others have 3 it could still be interesting.
Assuming that the best 4 positions of your engine count towards the points Ferrari could be the winners of this.
So far
Mercedes 46
Ferrari 34
Honda 16
Renault 6

There's a good interview with Adrian Newey on Natalie Pinkham's In the Pink podcast and he explains why Horner/Marko went on the offensive when it came to the Renault situation and that it didn't work.

Honda's biggest haul of points. All cars picking up a solid result. Ferrari really dropping the ball with only 2 points finishers. Renaults = best points haul and could have been so much better.
I loved Renault claiming this week they're level on engine power with Mercedes. Course you are, luv. Bet you've got great reliability too, eh?
I'd imagine Mercedes have enough PU oomph to run a stting great amount of downforce and still run down the straights faster than the French donkeys.

So leaving aside the Merc works team ( who's oil burners were making noticeable puffs of dark smoke all weekend), where are Williams and Racing point then if their PU is SSSSOOOOOOO much better then the Renault PU? There were good signs for Renault PU's on a power circuit this weekend. They are all definitely converging bar the way Ferarri and Merc works teams are running them.I'd imagine Mercedes have enough PU oomph to run a stting great amount of downforce and still run down the straights faster than the French donkeys.
The reason Renault are so far behind in that table is that their engine isn't in a decent chassis, not that their engine is particularly poor. I don't think they've caught up with Ferrari or Mercedes in terms of power yet but I don't think they (or Honda) are far behind; especially in race trim.
That table is basically Mercedes vs Ferrari vs Redbull vs nobody, with a few extra odd points thrown in from the second division.

It is pretty meaningless.That table is basically Mercedes vs Ferrari vs Redbull vs nobody, with a few extra odd points thrown in from the second division.
If you remove the four works teams from the table, it looks like this:
Renault | 40 |
Ferrari | 35 |
Mercedes | 19 |
Honda | 17 |
