Yeah, it does have feeling of being 'stage managed' this year. My personal opinion is they made a big mistake in the implementation of the turbos. It was always going to cause disparity. I think they should have set a max cc and output figure, and kept normally aspirated. Adding variable boost into the equation has lead to the events of this season.
I'm also a bit surprised at the amount of 'standard' TOCA part failures all teams have had this year, that is something that really needs to looked as well in the close season.
Watched Sunday on TV, the only thing I will say is that the MG was far better in the corners which, appeared to me, allowed Plato to get his foot down before anyone else. Matt Jackson was similar in Race2, albeit with no weight.
