Ferrari have criticised Red Bull for threatening to quit Formula 1 because they are not winning.
Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz said this week engine supplier Renault's lack of competitiveness was affecting his desire to stay in Formula 1.
Ferrari team boss Maurizio Arrivabene said: "It is easy to be happy when you win four championships and easy to complain when you are not winning.
"You have to accept when something goes wrong and when it goes right."
Red Bull won four consecutive drivers' and constructors' world titles from 2010 to 2013 but have struggled since the start of the new turbo hybrid engine era last year because Renault have been left behind by Mercedes.
Glad to see this personally, sick of the incessant whining. I remember when RedBull were dominating and no one called for equalisation or threatened to quit the sport (maybe Luca, but no one takes him seriously). Even Wolff said, RedBulls dominance was an inspiration.
Really poor form from the team.

he obv has a point even if it is a little hypocritical to be coming from Ferrari !! If Mateschitz pulls out it will only hurt his reputation more I also do remember Toto and also Mclaren i think aswell using Red bull as an example of the levels they want to get to .... not worrying about knocking the Bulls of their perch instead to balance the field.

I would like teams more competitive but people seem to have rose tinted glasses when it comes to F1.
We have seen dominance like this from Williams and McLaren.
We also saw it at RedBull, if Webber was competent enough, it would have been worse.
Have people really forgotten 2011 and 2013?

1 star ..... is that what u mean by Adrien ? im guessing either truth hurts guy or a re-incarnation of Martial...Always thought we might see him in another poster in some shape or form ... dunno if he has tho.
But yeah its the way F1 is and always prob will be ... Its very rare that we see 3/4 very similar teams in terms of pace (at least front runners anyway) This is in part due to the fact that F1 gets more and more technical every day ... the only way to bridge the gaps and have teams runnin closer is to simplify the rules and regulations and or reduce the money needed. Its almost the same in all sports nowadays tho very rare u get 4/5 teams/organisations right at the very top of the game/sport and all be pretty much equal.

Agree with you completely. What we really need to look at is the aero bit. This is an overly simplistic view but tell the designers, airflow should not disturb the air behind you negatively.
Exhaust cannot be BD/EBD and Engine must produce this minimum torque. After that, knock yourselves out.
Would be like the wacky races

But we cant have that i mean how can the big wigs make all the money then and also feel like Mr High and Mighty dicatating what they wamt certain teams to do....!!
And also just what would we do with all those extra viewers tuning in to watch an unpredictable race.
Its a sad day when all you do is pray for rain so the gap is bridged and there can be uncertainty in a race.

For me its about Qualifying.
Races tend to be exciting when the big boys slip up and qualify low down, or a low down team pull a suprise out.
Sort qualy in some way that supports the lower teams
