This year is starting like it's the 6th consecutive season of Mercedes domination. WTF happened to the formula that would result in teams rising and falling?

Again, I've said it before. No WDC won with a POS car.
Each era had a few teams had a dominant car, McLaren, Williams, Ferrari, Brawn (for a year), RBR, Mercedes. everytime there's people screaming giving up the sport.
And of course those who are not in the best car will be quite vocal of leaving etc.
And why everyone acted surprised when Merc blew it away? Everyone "Knows" the Mercs had been sandbagging during winter testing. Stop letting the "fast laps" from Ferrari last few weeks gave you a false impression.
