Kinda shocking that last year with all this new tech more cars finished than this year ! You'd think by year 2 they'd master this more... Disappointments all around for me. All in all, I respect Mercedes' achievements but it's gonna kill the sport. Everybody knows Hamilton will win this championship unless he breaks a leg coming off his jet and is sidelined for a month. Then.... Rosberg will still lose it with one race to go ;-)

- Bummed Mercedes is so far ahead (they're not even pushing that hard)
- Bummed Williams is further behind (jokes made that maybe they don't have the exact same engine)
- Bummed Suzie Wolff didn't get a dispensation to run - god knows the grid could have used more cars and we'd know if she's OK or not (I suspect not, but hey..)
- Bummed about McLaren. It may come together but not this year... Fernando must be wondering if he will ever pick a winning team again ;-) Him staying home to recover makes a lot more sense all of a sudden ;-)
- Sad for Renault: *Countless* manufacturer titles, they clearly can build ICE engines, but not KERS !!!
- RebdBull's sour grapes: Jeezus Horner, quit whining and get to work...

I love F1, but this is gonna be boring... If you wanna keep the current engines formula, warts and all, PLEASE STOP with the *bull$hit* Token system and let the teams test at will, let the manufacturers supply as many engines as they want! Cost savings my a$$. They spend the $ in CFD, sims, wind tunnel and the things suck on track. If they fold or leave the sport, where's the savings ? Let them run, test days used to be open to the public too...sell the tickets, everybody wins... clearly lots of teams out there need to run more! No savings to be had killing the show... and nobody will catch up under the current regs, it cannot be done when engineers have limited upgrade paths and no testing...
