Mercedes wins two championships in a row and everyone is up in arms.
2001, 2002, and 2004 were the only Ferrari blowout years. In '03 Kimi was 2 points behind the champion.

In 2010 and 2012, Vettel won by 4 and 3 points, respectively. So, we have never had 3 successive blowout years before, but we are currently well into blowout year 3 for Mercedes. It is indeed unprecedented. Plus, there's no trending towards another team becoming competitive, let alone superior.

What we need is for the Merc guys to take each other out for each of the next 3 races, then maybe the fans will wake-up.
