    As long as RB keeps giving him good cars, I see him having a comparable WDC series to Lewis, if not breaking the 7 championship barrier. He’s absolutely incredible.

            Yes.

            He was gone by the first corner, never looking back. You had some days where maybe redbull or ferrari had a sniff, but like a good 90% of the races were decided after T1

                That’s why I don’t understand why people complain about verstappen.

                People who do it are either new fans who have no idea about the history of the sport or how the sport works or salty Hamilton fans who are pissed that their favourite driver is not dominating anymore.

                Domination is the norm, not the exception in this sport. There were seasons, of course, where we had some incredible fight, but that’s more of an exception than the rule

            Mercedes was from 2014 to 2016. In 2017 and 2018 the gap was smaller. 2019 it was back to before.

            The only difference was that Merc had some weak tracks (Mexico at least) where RB would regularly win.

            I’m not sure cause I wasn’t a regular watcher, but I do recall the same conversations about races being boring since Lewis won them all.

        Oddly enough, this is the most competitive season in a long while, just not for the first position.
