Mercedes engines certainly seem a lot more reliable than they used to be. I was thinking during the race today, as someone who actively disliked Honda, how awful it would have been for me if they'd carried on in F1 this year and ended up with a car that could actually win races. Then I wondered, how well would this year's car have done with a Honda engine in the back of it? Seems to me that Honda's engines weren't massively powerful compared to Mercedes and Ferrari, I wonder what difference that would have made.... |

Ross said when they fitted the new engines they where 50 BHP better than the Honda ones so do all the other engines have to do 3 races each as well? but 17 races divided by 8 engines give you each engine has to do 2.125 races so could you save 2 or 3 engines for the last few races or just run one engine at the high speed races? or for the rest of the races each engine just needs to do 2 races?
