With season’s three races complete, it is abundantly clear that team Mercedes will have a dominant position in Formula-one competitions in 2014 on account of technical superiority of their machines. If engine configurations are maintained for the 2015 season as well, as the authorities have already announced, Mercedes will continue to hold the upper hand until the end of 2015. It doesn’t mean that drivers racing other cars are disappointed – they are doing the utmost to match the Mercedes class. Champion driver Sebastian Vettel said at the conclusion of the Bahrain Grand Prix that Red Bull was fast making improvements, while admitting that Mercedes engines were still superior.
