As can probably be told by my previous posts one of my personal pet peeves with F1 is Christian Horner and his constant moaning about his teams sufferance due to running a weaker engine than Ferrari and Mercedes. (I still want to like him, I really do)

I am the first to admit if Red Bull had either a Ferrari or Mercedes engine I think it would be the best car on the grid, and maybe just maybe Red Bull would dominate. (But then we all know Red Bull would share its Aero secrets with the other teams to make it fairer to all and ensure the competitive nature of the sport!)

However given that many think Mercedes have the best engine (I think that is a debatable point) how do you account for the abysmal performance of the Williams car compared to Mercedes the works team? Sure the drivers at Mercedes are substantially better and its obvious the car is not as good but just look at the differential its enormous.

Then flip over to Renault, how utterly and completely crazy is it that a works team can not just be beaten by a customer team but left literally and figuratively miles behind. Then there is McLaren who are running the same engine who are miles behind Renault.

It just goes to show, indeed prove beyond reasonable doubt that F1 is NOT just about the engines its about a whole host of things (Many of which I have absolutely no idea).

The next time Horner gets on his Orange box about his teams poor engine performance I really wish someone would say to him "Christian, can you imagine how good Ferrari and Mercedes would be with a Red Bull chassis"

Okay I have got that rant of my chest I promise not to mention it for at least another week and in any case I have to find something to badger Forza with!
