well like last seasons when there was an uproar about engine penalties - if there is a big gap to the front, then the reliability of those behind begins to suffer as they try and catch up, and also they want to bring new bits into the engine too, so we see more penalties and back-of-the-grid starts.....
given facing another boring season, it could be that the rules change about the engine penalties midway through in order to make the competition closer
one thing is for sure, that Merc has been pretty reliable compared to Ferrari and Renault (should i really mention honda...no)
