Technically in 92 & 93, everyone was on a level playing field as opposed to the transition year that was 88.

'84 McLaren too, only the unreliability of that era prevented more wins. They still won 11 out of 16 or whatever it was.
Yes I was going to say the same re '92 and probably '93.

In 1992 i'm fairly sure that had there not been a few incidents or freak circumstances Mansell or Patrese could have won every GP in the FW14B!!

In '93 maybe the advantage was less but Prost never really extended himself more than necessary and I think there was some help to Damon from mid year to get him off the mark.

A fully committed Prost, even at 39, would have seen them all off in the FW15.

1984 was much closer but McLaren were more consistent than anyone else. Ferrari when working was the fastest car, Lotus, Brabham & Williams were very up and down/unreliable.
