Typically these technical domination periods go for much longer than half a season. The 4 year (aerodynamic) Red Bull era followed on the Brawn year, and since then until last year a motor regulation change created the Mercedes domination era. Great achievements on the side of those teams, but it has been quite boring sometimes from an audience perspective. One funny thing were audience reactions like "Formula 1.5" on reddit, where the predictable wins were ignored and instead people cheered for the mid field teams and their positions.
