Ferrari had the fastest car in a straight line last year but I'm not sure that was down to power. They took downforce off the car so they were fast down the straights but lost time in the twisty bits. And they may have been cheating too.

Merc's philosophy throughout the hybrid era has been to build the best engine and all that extra power lets them put more downforce on so that they're better in the corners.

If Formula One is a battle of one engineering department against another, Mercedes engineers have been handing everybody else their hineys.

Mercedes being so out in front on the PU allowed them to get out in front on the chassis/aero as well. They are a well run organization with as much money as anyone, so no one can catch up.
