Don't blame Mercedes for making a better engine.
An ingenious and legal development that every team is free to copy
Suspicious in what way?
Its a perfectly legal setting that produces a small increase in power at the expense of stressing the engine more.
An legal system that every team is free to copy
Such as?
Slandering Mercedes for having a better and perfectly legal car is pretty pathetic.
Especially when its Red Bull that have been caught out cheating in the past not Merecedes.

To say that we know Mercedes haven't bent/broken the rules in some manner is pretty naive, since that has always been the name of the game in F1. The most clever and sneaky constructors have always gained advantages like this in the past. Hard to believe 100% that they have nothing controversial in their car, given the tremendous (insert Trump hand gestures to accompany the word "tremendous") edge they have had.
I suppose it's always possible, but you only find out if somebody figures it out. Look how long VW was getting away with their B.S. "Clean diesel" tech lol. The best part was that other companies had already been caught for the same thing over a decade before, and it was a pretty blatant offense on a huge scale.
