Reliability is a different issue though. My guess is McLaren have risked putting high risk parts on thier MB engine to get more power from it in the hope to try and beat ferrari this season. Hopefully it'll be more of a level playing field next year and the top teams will all have more equal reliability as it was before this year.
we'll have to wait and see what winter testing brings us for 2005. I have a feeling that Mercedes will have worked the kinks out of their engines by the time the red lights come on for the first race in '05 (i saw the schedule somewhere, i'll have to look again but i think Albert Park is still the first race of the year). Ferrari..well i think we can expect to see the same results from them unless Mosley decides to mess with the engine rules at the last minute. :roll:

I would say though that MB does have a more powerful engine than Ferrari, but the problem is it just doesn't make full power until the #6 connecting rod plows through the side of the block
