Domination is Ok, As Long as Its Us

Sometimes you have to wonder how F1 Team Principals keep a straight face when they talk to the media...

Whether it's Bob Fernley at Force India when he claims that the team's opposition to Manor/Marrusia's return isn't related to money, or any time anybody at Ferrari says pretty much anything about their performance...

But this week's (or at least today's) "Are you kidding me?" award  has to go to Red Bull's bearded leader Christian Horner...  To be more specific, FOUR TIME CONSTRUCTOR'S CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING Red Bull's bearded leader Christian Horner who in an interview stated that Mercedes current engine advantage is turning away fans...    This is the same team boss who in 2013 as the team and Sebastian Vettel were cruising to their 4th consecutive championships stated that he wasn't concerned by the "boring dominance."

As some point I'm sure that Ferrari is also going to chime in over how Mercedes is ruining the sport by continuing to be successful.  Why not, when they've done it before?  Besides, it makes perfect sense for a team that won 8 Constructors Championships in 10 years (1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007,2008) to complain that it's boring when a single team is successful over a long period of time...
