Its very rare to read a comment that is simply so wrong.
The manufacturers have been writing new code for the power units race by race which is important because for Renault in particular software integration, not hardware has been the problem. Thats why we've seen substantial power and drivability improvements from Renault in particular since the start of the season, apparently somewhere near 40-50 bhp since February 28th. So much for the status quo.
As for hardware, the same rules apply as for the past few years where only reliability mods have been allowed. If those reliability changes allow the engine to be pushed harder so it produces more power well that would be just a happy coincidence wouldn't it….
Please do some research before posting utter drivel. Reading a few PR releases about engine upgrades brought by the manufacturers would easily prove you wrong and they have been widely publicised.

You talk sence Mr Malbec. Not usual idiot on www.
How many here drive race car? Not great number. Feel Brabham, Cooper, Lotus. They think racing all personality not pilot. Bling Bling generation with Playstation and armchair and opinion.

Check out the mid-season comparisons. Some interesting stats that I will comment on later this evening.

It is an interesting comparison and well-presented. According to the red/green indicators, the two drivers who have been most comprehensively beaten by their team-mates are former and current world champions Raikkonen and Vettel! Raikkonen's no surprise, but in Vettel's case it doesn't tell the whole story: when you look at the championship points, the Red Bull drivers are proportionally closer together than any other pair of team-mates except Mercedes and the non-points-scorers.

Some good information but be used in situation to other information to.
Example is position gain in situation against qual position. Bad qual mean easier gain position.
Interesting fact experience making big difference in some team. Hulk, Jenson but not Red Bull where Ricc defy experience. This tell story?
Also Torro Rosso make no impact. Pilots ahead may fail to complete race but they not show improve. Why?

Statistics can be misleading, and it is helpful to know why for instance one driver has gained more places than his teammate, but all things considered I think that the average finishing position between teammates is very telling. Also it is interesting (to me) that Slash, and EG are in a really tight battle even though neither has scored a point. Seb, and DR are really well matched with Ric' edging him out in most categories, but that could still be turned around if SV finishes strongly!
