No, no hard feelings. I was just somewhat taken aback by the vehemence of your reply. I have a keen interest in the progress of Haas but mainly I’m fairly pragmatic about F1. I enjoy the innovations actually, some of the cheating is ingenious. Though I wouldn’t have Mercedes down as great cheaters of the modern era. Perhaps you believe so because you’re emotionally involved?...
If I sound "vehement", it's because there are those who incessantly berate Ferrari because of the incredible feats they achieved during the Schumi era. Let's face it, they didn't come about "only" because of technology or rules, Schumi put in ridiculous amounts of time testing, testing and then re-testing any innovation.
"Today" we have manufacturers writing the rules with the FIA, whilst developing their engines. Suggesting that a freeze on engine development would help "less" rich teams and then offering to test tires/wheels for the only supplier. And, that isn't considered advantageous (to be nice)!!
Anyway, I have no problem admitting that I am totally biased where Ferrari is involved.
The point is, I admit it. I will even preface my comments, so that the bias is "out there"!!
