Mercedes lashes back at Red Bull after 2015 opener

A bit hypocritical from Mercedes or they have very short memory.
Double diffusers and Coanda exhausts anyone? Both were introduced by Red Bull and gave them an advantage. First everyone complained, then tried to copy them but in the end these things were banned. Red Bull had their wings chopped but Mercedes is allowed to keep running further away.
As other reports have shown, this is really starting to hurt the sport itself. There might not be a German GP this year and Mercedes still can't take a hint!?

Mercedes is in a tough position - which it has fashioned largely itself.

To suppport their reputations, brand loyaltist and commercial objectives, they must strive to win. Do all they can, consistently,and do it better. But, their winning by huge margins with unchallengable technological superiority is seriously hurting other F1 teams' prospects, so causing complaints, threats and noise that can only injure F1. Also, it's not Mercedes' fault that neither Renault nor Honda can yet build a competitive PU, or that the teams who are complaining loudest continue to depend on Renault. They knew last year that the Renault engines suck. Find another engine provider, RB. BMW, Audi, Ford, Hyundai, Toyota, GM? For what you're paying Renault, any one of those others should be interested in helping. Have an energy drink and chill.

It will be a very boring race season if only one team has a chance to win. F1 needs to do something and quickly or they will lose all the television audience.

Maybe everyone has same 1000 hp engine but unlimited changes to car body? Much cheaper and could make it interesting.

this fuel saving sh** is what annoys me and more...
you can use 100 kg per race but they all start with less
1. make them start with full gas tank so they can't bitch about saving
2. have Pirelli made tires that can last 100 qualifying laps, but have 3 different compounds you have to use in race -> no more excuses about failing tires
3. have more parts that are standard so there is no development (wheel nuts and bolts that fail... WTF)
ETC

C'mon Niki!! That the teams are there to "bring the maximum in technological innovation, the best car, the best engine, the best drivers and try to win the grand prix", is not quite right when development is restrained to making limited improvements to a potentially flawed engine, rather than being in a position to redesign and overcome the 'ACTUAL' flaws in said engine.

DRIVERS..... Really Niki? THE BEST drivers are driving in F1?.... or are they the best of the most capable 'fund-raising' drivers?....... and, as my girlfriend keeps asking, "why do they all look like emaciated little boys?"...... in which case, are the drivers, not necessarily THE BEST drivers, but the best of the lightest, most capable 'fund-raising' drivers?

(A solution to little emaciated drivers could be addressed when introducing the 1000 hp engines by requiring that the combined weight of the driver and his car is in excess of a particular weight AND the combined weight of the driver and his race seat is in excess of say 100kg - if less than, additional weight is to be added to the seat).

And as for Niki's last point, it is clear that only one team is there to win a grand prix this year....... The rest are resigned to competing in a race within a race..... or hoping to do a 'Bradbury'!!! (i.e. win gold when the rest of the field falls over - aka Steve Bradbury).....lol
