Dynasties have been ever-present in the Formula One world. Scuderia Ferrari used to be on top of the food chain having left all other constructors behind, up until 2007. They have won a total number of the 16 Constructors’ Championships.
Redbull was seen reigning supreme from 2010 to 2013 when Sebastian Vettel clinched a quadruple championship with the Milton-Keynes based outfit.
Since then, the Mercedes Benz AMG Petronas Formula One team has replaced them on the top spot. They have been winning the Constructors’ title as well as the Drivers’ Championship since 2014 continuously.

The team has won all the three races of the season with Valtteri Bottas winning one and Lewis Hamilton clinching the last two victories.
Therefore, some speculate that the loss of spark, as far as the Scuderia are concerned, could be beneficial for the English team.
Nick Heidfeld said (translated by Google Translate), “Ex-Ferrari boss Luca Di Montezemolo sees the danger of a multi-year crisis and demands consequences. Yes! There must be consequences.
“The problem, however, is that with a few personal details this year will certainly not get any better. Di Montezemolo is concerned that things will go badly for Ferrari for years to come. This concern is well-founded.

“I would not be surprised if you make big changes – also that you change Mattia Binotto.”
Talking about the comparison with Mercedes, the German expert explained, “But part of the truth is that it was and still is a great strength of Mercedes to have consistency in management.
“In contrast, it is a weakness of Ferrari to change all sorts of things with snap actions. Therefore, one could also say that the calm manner of Binotto could also be good for the team. Especially in the current situation.”
