Thanks guys, 10/10 - would read again.
Can't wait 'til this weekend's entertainment.

What's this about dark ages...?
I don't want anyone to die on the track.
Lets see. Back in the day Ferrari had one of the best drivers (Schu), one of the best designers (Byrne) and the best strategist behind the pitwall (Brawn). In the 2011 incarnation, only one of those boxes is ticked (Alonso). They have a mediocre designer, which is why the 150 is wonky and desperately pedestrian on primes and they have a hopeless strategist, which is why they make bad tactical mistakes. This is why Alonso didn't win in Barcelona. He didn't have the car for the job and the crew called him in too late for the second stop, losing him the lead. Once the other cars were past the red road-block, they left him in the dust, because with his car he brought a knife to a gunfight. Take any rulebook in the world, there's just no way he could ever have won that race - deal with it.
So please, do us a favour and stop whining. The car's not up to the job - the rules have nothing to do with it.
Because Schumacher isn't the driver he was some years ago, and they're car is inferior to the Ferrari.
Now Schumacher and Brawn are both at Mercedes, so that's 2 ticks off your list in one team, why wasn't Mercedes in front of Alonso?

Why don't you do us a favor and come back with a sound argument?

Unlike you, he has one.
To stop the flaming and get back to normal business: The point mpicco brings up here is one i've been thinking about since the second part of the 2010 season.
MercBrawnGP's start into 2010 was ruined by winning the 2009 WDC as an underfunded privateer, not having any resources to start work on the 2010 car on time.
But with backing by Mercedes, a certified genius like Ross Brawn, one highly-talented driver and one who, even if not nearly as fast as in his prime, brings tons of experience into the team, they should have been able to catch up with McLaren and Ferrari by mid-season 2010 (maybe even challenge RBR) and should be right in the middle of the pack chasing down RBR right now.
I don't see the reason why Mercedes suck as hard as they do. To be honest, i can't judge weather the Ferrari or the Merc is the worse car. In fact, that's a moot point. Both teams should be up at the top and while i agree with Lukenwolf on why Ferrari isn't, cause his logic is sound Merc (as much as i dislike them, by the way) should be up in front theoretically. I agree with mpicco that they aren't. But why?!

Normally money can buy talent. That's why i figured the RA109/BGP-001 worked. Cause they hired some people who could actually design a car.
I think cellos should be banned.
