Heck, I just checked 1983 and the first 4 race finishes were further and further apart. I'm so (not) confused.
The first five races of 1983 were won by 5 different constructors though ...

Big difference between winning a proper competition, and merely backing the winning margin down toward the end of the race, much easier too in cars that cannot overtake one another.

On a separate note, how long would Mercedes be allowed to keep their advantage/ current rules framework if they stopped sand bagging and won every race by two laps?
