    Jaja elég csak emlékezni ilyenekre, mint Williams Renault, McLaren Honda, Benetton Ford. Nagyon durva előnyük volt amikor épp a top-on voltak.

    Egy egész jó írás a téma egy részéről, idézet a I Came, I Saw, I'll Conquer: Exclusive Interview with Mike Gascoyne című cikkből:

    Biranit Goren: What about Ferrari? Why are they so much better this year than anybody else?


    Gascoyne: "Well I think there are two things to bear in mind. One thing is that you've got a tyre war. Tyre wars are great if, like last year, one manufacturer is better than another and the quickest car is getting supplied by the one that isn't the best, while the three teams chasing it are getting supplied by the better tyre. In that situation tyre wars are fantastic. You reverse it, and it's dreadful."


    BG: You think that Bridgestone are better than Michelin?


    Gascoyne: "At the moment, yeah. They're stronger. Are Ferrari doing a much better job than they did last year? I'm not sure that they are. Are Bridgestone - compared to Michelin - doing a better job for Ferrari now than last year? Yes, I'm sure they are. But it can change, and it will change in years to come.
    "To me, as an engineer, that's the way Formula One should be. If you want to make it into a one make racing series, go and watch F3000, and I didn't see anyone overtake at the front there either, so that's not the answer. If you want people to support teams, then don't change Formula One."


    BG: The common idea in the paddock is that Michelin still have the better tyre...


    Gascoyne: "I think the tyres are inherently different. Michelin can have very good one-lap performance but quite high drop-off. But you have to say, so far all races have been in cool conditions - even races where you'd have bet your mortgage on it being hot, like Malaysia - where it actually rained at the start - or Bahrain, where there was a bloody sandstorm, for god's sake! So I think under those cool conditions Bridgestone are undoubtedly stronger.
    "The other thing about Ferrari is that Formula One's strength is the team identity and the fact that everyone has to be a constructor. It's also Formula One's inherent weakness, because it means someone's going to do it better than the other and win all the races. So you always have periods of dominance from the top teams. It's always been the case. That superiority lasts as long as you have engineering stability. It's got nothing to do with the drivers - you can chop and change them anyway you like. The key is engineering stability.
    "With Patrick [Head] and Adrian [Newey] there, Williams had it. When they lost it, they stopped winning. As simple as that. And Ferrari have had a stability in the last few years, with Ross [Brawn] and Rory [Byrne] and all their technical people. So the key is technical stability. But in 2006, when they retire, Ferrari will go downhill and the next team that's in the right position will spend three or four years winning everything. My aim is to ensure that that's Toyota. A year ago I was trying to ensure that it's Renault - now I'm trying to make sure that it's Toyota."
