Mercedes, excluding the engine development, outspend both of those teams. All three outspend the rest of the field by quite some margin.

According to this source[0], for 2019, Mercedes spent $484MM, Ferrari $463MM, Red Bull $445MM, Red Bull 2 (aka Toro Rosso) $138M.

Ferrari's last driver's championship win was 2007, and last constructors championship win was 2008. If simply outspending their competitors by 5% would make all the difference, I think they would have tried it by now (and infact, if you look at previous years, they have, and failed)

You can't possibly know that? Ferrari's F1 spend is not public knowledge.
