Well Christian Horner seems to have decided who's to blame for his cars' fall from domination:

Horner: Throw everything at it | Planet F1 | Formula One | News, Standings, Results, Features, Video

That's the full article. Here are the best bits from Horner:

"DNFs are extremely expensive and it is our first no points scoring race since 2010 - which also happened to be an engine failure that cost us on that day as well."

TRANSLATION: Renault messed it up for us today, just like THEY did in Korea 2010

"Sebastian, with the lap he did in qualifying on Saturday, it was absolutely everything there was," said Horner.
"You only have to look at an audio overlay to see where we haemorrhaged the time"

TRANSLATION: You only have to listen to hear how poor the Renault engine is, and where we haemorrhaged the time.

"In the race Seb was really hanging on and doing a really strong job.
"He managed to hold on to Jenson (Button) early on in the race, but then the Ferrraris were just too quick on the straights for us.
"We were just powerless to defend, but Sebastian did nothing wrong. He drove as hard as he could.

TRANSLATION: He was hanging on to a tow as best as he could. That was our only hope of getting a bit of straightline speed, as the Renault engine was palpably not up to the job.
The Ferraris were just too quick on the straights for us, because they aren't lumped with dodgy Renault engines. We are.
"We were just powerless" = Exactly

"Monza unfortunately exposed our weakness."

I think that speaks for itself. Christian seems to be very sure exactly what the weakness is!

P.S. Rule changes brought Ferrari's domination to an end in 2005.

Also, yeah it is really quiet around here these days...
