Not sure what you mean by that, but it’s really pointed in the wrong direction.
Look at all the World Champion winning teams:
CONSTRUCTOR ENGINE
Red Bull Honda
Mercedes Mercedes
Red Bull Renault
Brawn Mercedes
Ferrari Ferrari
Renault Renault
Benetton Renault
McLaren Mercedes
Williams Renault
McLaren Honda
McLaren TAG
Williams Ford
Lotus Ford
McLaren Ford
Tyrell Ford
Matra Ford
Brabham Repco
Lotus Climax
Lotus BRM
Cooper-Climax Maserati
Cooper-Climax Climax
Vanwell Vanwell
Maserati Maserati ?
Alfa Romeo Alfa Romeo
(data from

So, if you scan that list, most winning constructors were not engine suppliers.
