So take every F1 team's successful period away and Ferrari will still dwarf them and will remain the most successful team. So it's pretty much a pointless discussion.
F1, like any other sports, goes through a cycle. And each cycle has it's own winners-losers. This cycle is all about Mercedes, just like 1999-2008 was of Ferrari's. Ferrari's time will come again.
With regards to the turbo-hybrid era, there was no parity amoungst the competition of the likes of the token system and engine freezes. Yes, Mercedes built a "better mouse trap" but others were "hampered" from competing.
And to put the final nail in the coffin, this turbo hybrid era that we are currently on is being "dumbed down" hence in 2026 they are getting rid of the MGU-H as well as other competitors will join F1.
This turbo hybrid era was a waste of time and money......lots of money and insured Mercedes dominance while the competition had one hand tied behind their back.

It's not how start but how you finish.
