I definitely prefer tighter competition for the sake of the racing, but I'm well aware of the nature of the beast. When you have a relatively open formula this is going to happen. It happened with McLaren, Williams, Ferrari, Redbull, and other teams throughout history. Now it's Mercedes. Remember, F1 is about the teams/engineering first, and the actual on track racing product second.
When I want good competitive racing I turn to NASCAR... however Brian France has been making it incredibly hard for me to follow along lately. I say that as a diehard fan since 1994.

I definitely like the cars and the tracks, and for the 5 or 6 seconds it is pretty exciting. There is always hope that a few more teams will close the gap next year. I know that Mercedes has the advantage in straight-line speed, but I keep digging, but an unable to find exactly what the technical distinction is. I guess if I were to find out, then the competition would as well, which is why it is a secret.
NASCAR races are fun and cheap, and I usually attend at least one every year, and this year I will attend the USGP. Hopefully the spectacle will be as fun as I imagine and that will be motivatation to attend another race every couple of years. On my list would be Singapore, Belgium, Canada, Brazil and of course Monaco!.
