I love when a person's debating tactic is to just make-up facts, but state them assertively. Face it, you have absolutely no idea how many people dispute this theory, unless you've managed to conduct a worldwide poll behind my back.
You may be referring to a legitimate technical advantage that Ferrari had, but the plain facts are that Ferrari didn't have more poles or wins than Mercedes in the 1st half of the season. So while a sampling of opinion may favor Ferrari being faster, it doesn't mean they were.
Perhaps what's more accurate is this: the battery trick put Ferrari more on par with Mercedes in the 1st half, and then they dropped back. That would be supported by the season's results.
