So you weren’t watching F1 in 2008/9 then? A little team know as Brawn F1?
I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but it has
2008 Brazilian GP Final race of the year:
Barrichelo in the Honda was .7 seconds off Pole (Ferrari Massas fastest qualifying time that day)
The following year they swapped the engine from the slowest on the grid Honda to the most powerful Mercedes.
The engine swap alone was thought to be worth .7 seconds or more hence the reason for the 3 month catch up
2018 Brazlian GP second last race of the year:
Hamiltons fastest Qualifying time was 2.2 seconds faster than Alonso's fastest Qualifying time in the Mclaren
The Gap for Mclaren to close is over 300% larger than the Honda/Brawn Gap in 2008.
