It's too difficult the predict the future because the tide can change in F1 very rapidly every time they make a drastic change to the rules package, plus some drivers have a knack for moving to the right situation, and some seem to constantly make the wrong choice.
In 2009 the crap Honda (now Brawn) was suddenly the best car on the grid because Honda gave up on their horrible 2008 car early in the season and got a head start on everyone on developing a car for the new 2009 rules.
In 2014 with the drastic change in the engine rules, Red Bull's four-year string of dominance was over, and interestingly Vettel suddenly couldn't even keep up with his teammate.
As for making bad decisions, Fernando Alonso is the poster boy for that, going to Ferrari at the wrong time, and going (back) to McLaren at the wrong time. OTOH, Hamilton timed his move from McLaren to Mercedes perfectly, so maybe he has a knack for making the right decisions.

I'm sure Alonso isn't happy with Ferrari being JUST a tick off Red Bull in 2010 and 2012, but it wasn't as if Ferrari hit a bad stretch. They were more competitive in the Red Bull era than they are now.
He'd rather get in on the ground floor at McLaren with Honda (people keep talking about their form for 2017) than strangle the Ferrari to its limit. Sure 2015 was awful but people still recognize him as one of the best drivers on the grid still because you know what Alonso is going to give you almost every race - the best possible result of the car.
