...Mercedes deserves to be the clear current leader - they took their advantage and made the most of it.

However, many Mercedes fans in general, and the Mercedes fans here have, two races into the season, completely written off Ferrari and already crowned themselves with the 2014 WDC and WCC. A little premature IMO...

Yes, Mercedes deserves to be where they are, at the moment; but, anyone who writes off Ferrari, after only two races should google reviews of the last few years. We may not have had the best car on the grid; but, we didn't finish last in the standings. In fact, we've been consistent in giving Vettel and Red Bull a run for their money.

As for ""some"" Mercedes fans, let's face it, their allegiance is with Hamilton and no matter where he goes, they will follow. And, there is nothing wrong with that. However, it's pretty sad to see the crowing from the rooftops, after two races and the assertion that this will be a dream season. It's also ironic that the same people who were looking for illegal reasons for Red Bull's dominance, this last few years, are the same people who laud all the hard work, investment and talent that Mercedes has. You'd think that there was only "one" team on the grid who worked hard, who planned hard, who invested hard. Seriously?

Ah, well... to each, his own... eh?

Really interesting report from AMuS on engines. AMuS is fairly oriented to Mercedes (as you'd expect) so it comes as a bit of a surprise. Firstly Mercedes have already changed their engine and expect to run the newly homologated unit in China. The explanation offered is the changes address concerns they have having lost 3 engines so far in the 2800-3900 range. That's not enough. It also explains the light running by the Mercedes powered teams.

They also seem to imply that Ferrari too will run a newly homologated engine in China.

I was wondering about how much Ferrari's 6 odd years of dominance has effected F1 today. Since our golden era, we have seen Red Bull create their own golden era and Mercedes has everything in place to create their own for the next 4 or 5 years. One thing that is different is the stifling rules that are in place. Back when we were going through our dream run of winning years, other teams could (and did) build completely new cars mid-season and even bring back previous season cars to race. That's not possible now with all the freezes in place. I guess that stands as a testament to how great our streak was.

Good point, spanky!!

The other thing all these stricter rules and regulations prove:
You can't stifle the creativity that can lead to "domination"!!

Can you pull a DaVinci and do it backwards?

Just remembered something: We had a staff social at a
local Greek Restaurant and we parked behind the building.
We were walking towards the back door, when one of my
colleagues asked, "Is it OK to go in the back?" To which I
promptly replied, "It's Greek, of course you go in the back!"
