Is Mercedes killing F1?

^Well what?????????

The Ferrari constantly broke down in '96 and MS did quite well to win a few races - Spain in the rain. (that was the year MS moved to Ferrari - so not the latter period at all) The Williams was utterly dominant and Hill won the tie at Suzuka beating Villeneuve (so 2 Williams battling till the final race in a car which wasn't top of the field?)

So the Williams sorta sandwiched Benetton (92/93 and 96/97) and then McLaren won 2 years in a row BEFORE MS/Ferrari finally won in 2000. Then obviously for the next 4 years too.

The Williams was the superior car between 1997-99. the period between 2000- 2004, the Ferrari did not have it easy like Redbull or Mercedes, Williams and Mclaren were very much hot on their heels. 2004 was the easiest title win for Schumacher. Which was the point l was trying to make. Even Redbull in their dominant era had Ferrari and Mclaren winning races. Even the Lotus managed to win one race with Maldonado.
