So yeah, they rules are broken. They have created a situation where we have a team that literally cannot be beaten until the rules are changed - I'm not sure this has ever happened in the sport before. When Red Bull & Ferrari were dominating others would catch up quickly through copying aero & other engineering developments meaning that Red Bull & Ferrari had to constantly come up with new ways to beat the other teams.. Now you literally cannot do that. And also the rules are apparently not changing - in contract to the Red Bull & Ferrari years where the rules changed every other race weekend to try to hinder them.

Actually, it usually takes massive rule changes to shake up the order.

2001-2004 and 2010-2013 had Ferrari and Red Bull leading the pack, and they kept it that way with the best car in that new iteration of rules. 2010-2013 Red Bull worked the best with the tires and overall the areo kits made or broke the cars in that set of rules. So because areo wise it was the best, it won a lot. Right now engines rule the rule book, and so Mercedes is running away. Its not Merc's fault that Renault made a garbage engine. Its the fault of cost cutting that we can't get a new rules pack each year to shake it up. Note: Cost cutting is needed to keep the sport going, but they need to figure out how to balance it.

Also, I missed this being posted in the thread, but Nico and Hamilton are having too much fun as teammates:
http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/mar/28/nico-rosberg-journalist-questions-lewis-hamilton

The Guardian posted:


Lewis Hamilton’s sometimes tense relationship with his Mercedes team-mate, Nico Rosberg, took a bizarre and slightly farcical turn on Saturday when the German driver posed as a journalist during the post-qualifying press conference at the Malaysian Grand Prix.

Hamilton played down the incident but Rosberg, from the back of the press conference, decided on an eccentric intervention. “Nico Rosberg, Mercedes AMG Petronas,” he began. “There are a lot of comments on Twitter saying Nico blocked you, is that true he blocked you on your second timed lap?”

Hamilton appeared amused and replied: “I think you should probably ask him, I think he’ll have a good opinion on that.” As the assembled journalists laughed, an apparently stung Rosberg shook his head and, despite the evidence, twice said: “That’s not funny.”

The only possibility, is that Pastor's goal is to make everyone realize that just being near him means a crash, so they all just let him go into the lead and then have a race behind him.

Only possibility other than that Lotus so desperately needs his money.
