But, in short:

Williams 92-97 https://tentenths.com/forum/showpost...1&postcount=42 (peaked at 27 from 48 and 103 from 301)

Their 59 from 114 was bettered by Ferrari in 2004 with a 69 from 117.
That's not the point I was making - also the above table does not show Williams 92-97 but rather Williams 82-97 and a bunch of other years.

Williams won 52 out of 98 races 1992-1997. Ferrari won 49 races out of 98 1997-2002 (minus the last two races of 2002 to give us an equal dataset). Thereby, using your guide Williams were more dominant from 92-97 than Ferrari were 97-02.


I'm sorry but I don't need need to read that whole thread to acknowledge that Ferrari were dominant "from 1997". They simply weren't - it's not a reality. They may well have been building up to a dominant period though. The same goes for Williams, they were dominant in 92, 93 & 96 but just because they won the most races 92-97 doesn't mean they were dominant "from 1992 to 1997".
This is the big issue I have just picking a certain number of races (50, 100, 200, 98). Formula 1 and most other sports don't work like that because the variables are attached to the seasons, not a round figure of races or events.

Like I said, Brawn were on your original list but are not on the list on that separate thread. I'm not sure why you picked Ferrari from 1997 originally when Brawn only competed in 17 GP and the 2002 or 2004 Ferrari had a better win rate. Ferrari have had more dominant 17 race spells than Brawn had.
