more teams will be competitive
And that was due the the engines?
Are you saying Mercedes dominance is due to the engine?
I think the universally agreed best of the V8 engines won only 2 of the 8 V8 WDCs.
so that would
renault and ferrari
not including Mercedes???
The V8s were considered so unbalanced certain manufacturers were given special permission to upgrade.
they could have removed that by letting all teams upgrade or none
There are far bigger factors that define the competitiveness of the F1 field than the engines.
then why were more teams winning races with V8 than V6's???
If you gave everyone in F1 the same engine now, do you think we would see a massive flattening of the competitive hierarchy (apart from Honda)? The best and worst team on the grid currently have the same engine.
The V6 era has been skewed by the Mercedes dominance.
A dominance clearly not defined by the engine as no other Mercedes team has stuck with them, and there's Mercedes engines at the top and bottom of the grid.
No, because Mercedes would have quit.
The order has been shaken up by the engines, but they aren't the only reason Mercedes are winning. They were a race winning car in 2013 remember, and easily have the biggest budget by far.
