Ford would have won and placed a bit better if Ambrose wasn't treated as the only Ford driver in the field.
He ruined Rusty's weekend at both Darwin and Winton, in Darwin by taking him out when Russell was in a race winning starting position, and at Winton by getting serviced first in the pits even though Russell was in a better position to take out the race.
Plus you have Fords greatest weapon in Craig Lowndes, not to mention the considerable talent of Seton driving a steaming pile of garbage, so you are not going to get any race wins there unless every round is pouring wet and only lasts about 9 laps (the life of an FPR engine)!
It's not a parity thing in relation to the cars, but becasue Holden have most of their best drivers in their best teams, that shows in the results.
Some of the Ford teams have also had a run of bad luck which has cost them a lot of results unfortunately, and that has nothing to do with parity.
Bowe has shown great speed but it has not been converted into race wins, Ingall has shown great race pace but has been let down by less then perfect qualifying, Lowndes has dragged his car kicking and screaming up the field only to have it give out on him time after time, anf the 888 cars have shown a lot of speed but have been caught up in too many accidents. These are not becasue of parity, IMHO.
