Domination
McLaren won all but one race, in a season. Can anyone team win every race

I think over a 16-19 race season it's unlikely to happen - something small is always probably going to intervene.

Not necessarily.
If it was team-mates going at it hammer and tongs it could be interesting. |

It depends on the team though. Mclaren don't use orders, hence 1988 was still an exciting season even with the dominance.

Can we possibly avoid making this a team orders thread?
As for the question, it could most certainly happen. If teams hadn't won 15/16 and 15/17 races would we reckon it couldn't? I wouldn't bet money on it happening come the start of any particular season, but, assuming the sport doesn't die, I would bet money on it happening at some point. It may be 3024, but, allowing for the sport continuing to exist, I would argue it is, perhaps, inevitable. |

Certainly it won't be hijacked by team orders subject.
If anything, F1 has been dominated by Ferrari last years, and we don't need any sort of domination. |

But I'd hope that one team never wins all the races in a season because it's far more interesting to see a number of teams do well. |

When a team dominates, although it appears boring for fans of F1, it's a mega achievement. With 9 other teams, none doing any favours, it is amazing if a team can win over half, if not all, races.
Mclaren's domination that season, and Ferrari's over the last 5 season may be boring and predictable. But putting it in the right perspective, it clearly demonstrates the depth and ability of those teams. I'd say to win all the races is difficult to achieve, but possible. now that the calendar is expanding, it makes it harder. What's the odds that 18 other cars fail to match you and luck falls your way 20 times a year? |

Cars: 2/20. Take 20 races: 2/400. In other words: 1/200; 0.5%; once every 200 years. I should say I don't know how they work out odds or anything of such a nature. This post is a total stab in the dark. |

i would agree with Dutton that at some point it could happen. after all the goal of perfection should be the aim of any top level team. that it could happen in the future just comes down to perforamce and fortune.
on one hand ferrari's dominance has only forced other teams to step up their own efforts hence the great season we just had and on the other hand it gave us seasons where the other teams fought only for second place. but in the long run i think we will see better competition because of it. |

Of course Dutton's statistics assume that every team has an equal chance of winning every race, which we know is not the case, as the levle of funding and talent within the teams is so diverse. I agree that it will happen at some point, but only very rarely. McLaren were less than 2 laps away from doing it in 1988 (and that was after Prost retired from what may have become the lead)

Back into Brigestones hands.......and back to Ferrari dominaton in all likelyhood, you don't go from crushing the opposition in one year to be RACE (note the word) Winless the next without something holding you back... Interesting idea though, one team winning all races. However, I believe that with a series with Monaco in the calender, no team will be able to win all the races, because of the nature of Monaco, it looks like all the fairly compettitive teams "gang up" on the fastest team to hold them back during the course of the race (of course, not intentional team work, but still) so one of the Underdogs can win. It happened both years Ferrari were at the height of their dominance, 2002 and 2004, Ferrari picked a strategy, everyone else picked the opposite, and a result of which meant Ferrari were impeded..... Can't happen, IMO.... |
