Don't forget McLaren had their share of miserable years with Ford-Cosworth, Porsche-Tag and Peugeot in 93 and 94. While Williams Renault and Benetton Ford rise to championship winning engines.
Formula 1 is a cycle of winning cars and power trains. We had years of McLaren-Honda (88-92), Benetton Ford (92-97), Williams Renault (92-96), Ferrari(99-04), McLaren Mercedes (98-99,07-08), Renault (04-07), Brawn-Mercedes (09), RedBull Renault (10-14). And now we just entered a new cycle of Mercedes (14-??). I don't see the need to panic and adjust the rules every race weekend. This will cause more harm to smaller or struggling teams.
What we need are more testing days, such as Monday and Tuesday after the race weekend (except back-back weekends and before summer break). To save money on logistics. But still provide sufficient testing time for teams.
