You would have been correct to say that Ferrari and Renault are the architects of their own misfortune. The same principle applies to McLaren's 2013 car, a fact that they accept. And they don't blame the rule makers for writing a set of rules that didn't suit their designers.

As you say Mike, Mercedes have done a superb job with the power unit, and it is simply dominating!
The teams are responsible for drafting the legislation which the FIA rubber stamps, so Ferrari and Renault are indeed the architects of their own misfortune by allowing the specifications of the power units to be frozen so early.
Where to from here?
