I still think Honda was on a hiding to nothing starting so late. I bet MB started quite a few years before and were developing as the regs developed. I am sure they already have the motors for the next set of regs in development now, the rest will still be thinking about it. it is a Germanic thing, every category that the German manufacturers enter they finish up dominating and it has always been like that except for very few exceptions, Porsche's last F1 motor being one.
