    Asked if he appreciated the irony of a once-dominant team demanding equivalency, Horner replied: "I can understand, but when we were performing we never had the level of dominance that we are seeing, nowhere near.

    Of course Red Bull "never had the level of dominance that we are seeing, nowhere near". Red Bull had Vettel and Webber.

    I predicted in 2004 that Webber would never win a Grand Prix and would never win the World Championship. He some some Grands Prix but he was never going to win a WDC.
    Mercedes in 2014 had a former World Champion and someone with the potential to be a World Champion. Red Bull even in their highest "level of dominance" never had that.

    The 2013 Red Bull probably was as dominant and technically superior to the field as the 2014 Mercedes was. It's just that it was driven by a star and an ordinary, whereas the Mercedes was driven by two stars.
    I've yet to witness Mercedes win 9 races in a row in one season. We'll see if they can do it this year If they win the next race it will be 9 in a row but in different seasons. Oh RBR are such a bunch of sore losers. I've never seen a more obvious case of the boy who cried wolf in my life. Anyway, who wants to see a drinks manufacturer dominate F1? I certainly don't. Totally fine with them quitting. F1 is bigger than any one team, including Ferrari.

    All the teams agreed to the 2014 rule changes and had their input into them. Just because RBR didn't do as good a job as the others is no reason for F1 to change. Personally, I've no issue watching two great drivers in the same car battle it out in front. I love watching two drivers push each other like that. That is something F1 has been missing greatly the previous number of years with Vettel dominating.
