Ultimately it may prove to be a fruitless exercise, particularly with the different engines but it's too early to throw it in the bin just yet.

Previously they got close with technical parity but with different body shapes it can never be achieved and now with different engine characteristics technical parity is even further from reality, one manufacturer will always have an advantage although it might not be a huge advantage.
