Isn't motorsport about promoting fair competition - isn't that what's exciting? Or is a manufactured result what you want to see?
How can people expect teams like Ferrari, McLaren or Williams to continue in an atmosphere like that?

It's nothing to do with not being good enough, it's all about how much cash they've got to spend. Anyway, it's not an artificial leg-up. Don't forget they do have to pay for these engines.
If motorsport (particularly F1) is about promoting fair competition then something has gone wrong somewhere. It started out like that, but in recent years it's become a big corporate showroom.
If it wasn't for the remaining few privateer teams there would only be 14 cars on the grid for 2004. I'd rather see 20.
