What about the last minute chassis handicap that Merc got?
That was not deliberate by the FIA. Most pundits though the rule change would hurt high rake teams more.
I'm certainly glad it helped Red Bull though, RBR need all the help they can get!
So you suppose Newey is overrated, and the Mercedes design team is far more skilled with their low rake car? It's not to do with Mercedes historically throwing more money at the problem than everyone else on the chassis (even more than Red Bull or Ferrari)?
Mercedes also threw more money at the power unit side than anyone else too for that matter...
For once, lets assume Merc was throwing more money, but who stopped other teams doing the same (as per you, rules are same for everyone.. right)? I would prefer not to comment on Newey, but it is not like he has won everything every time (and history has enough evidence of the same).
Reminds me of when Schumi went to ferrari , ferrari was absolute rubbish the years before with failures on last lap and such. Suddenly Schumi signed and they threw loads of money against it, but it wasnt sustainable there was even rumours then they had to sell artwork from the office to get income. But they did have a few great years which put the brand back into F1
