   Yes.   
      
   Do you want a constructors championship that means something or not?   
      
   What do we mean by a constructors championship if teams cannot do a   
   better job within the rules without being penalised?   
      
   AIUI, Merc were open with the fia about their engine from the start.   
   It was given the OK. It is dishonourable to now try to reverse that   
   and brings discredit to them.   
      
   If F1 wants a constructors championship then set out the technical   
   rules and regs discuss it with the teams and improve rules as needed   
   then set it in law. That's it ! No whinging and moaning.   
      
   It's happened before, this isn't the first time. A team has an idea   
   and asks the officials if they're happy with it being within the   
   rules. The teem then spends millions in developing the idea only for   
   officials to turn on them because other teams have done a less good   
   job and put pressure on. Shameful behaviour.   
      
   We don't even yet know how good the cars are ! It could be the case   
   that Merc ane back in 4th and AN's Aston is way better. If it is,   
   then everyone will be trying to get them stopped.   
      
   With all these, if the governing body has said it's within the rules   
   then THAT'S IT. Don't like it - tough, shoud've done a better job.   
      
   Bob.
