F1 is 99.99% car (Update)

UPDATE A reader adds, Dear Ar1.com, It was plain to see for anyone who watched the race that the Mercedes Benz strategy was to hand the win to Rosberg. By keeping Hamilton out way too long on the second set of tires, then pitting him very late in the race, and putting on the slower choice of tires, they gave him no chance of beating Rosberg. Guess MB does not think Rosberg can beat Hamilton on talent, so they do it for him with intentionally bad race strategy. Bob in Florida

Dear Bob, Yes, in F1 today, the Mercedes team dictates the outcome of the race, not driver talent. Will 2016 be Rosberg's turn to be World Champion? AutoRacing1.com Staff

11/29/15 Proving that F1 is now an engineering championship, and the driver means almost nothing (i.e. pretty much any driver can be in the seat) here is how the drivers finished in the 2015 Championship – strictly in order by team. Engineering is not a sport, hence F1 is not a sport – it is an exercise in engineering entertainment.
