Of course Ecclestone agrees, but where was he the previous 4 seasons when Vettel was winning everything and Red Bull were being very liberal in their application of the rules? There is no suggestion Mercedes are doing anything underhand at all, they have just designed a brilliant engine (which 3 other teams have) and a brilliant car.
Fair play to them, if artificial measures are brought in, all that will mean is teams like Williams, Force India and Lotus will just get worse as Mercedes are brought back into the clutches of Ferrari, but then where do you stop, when Ferrari pull ahead because Mercedes have been nobbled, do you then do the same to them?
Much better to let teams "Just get your fucking head down, work hard and try to sort it out".
Why should other teams be handicapped because Renault seemed to have forgotten how to make a decent engine? This is the real problem for Horner, he cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel with Renault. I say to him, you chose to stick with them so who's to blame. Right now you could be running on Mercedes power and be challenging, it was your choice.
