    As someone that’s newly enjoying F1, what’s up with him and his team’s dominance? I guess that’s unusual?

      I’m new to F1 as well (started watching at Miami last year) and I’m glad about that. Mercedes was dominant from 2014-2020 if I have been informed correctly.

      Not really. This usually happens after new regulations. Some teams get it right, most teams get ut wrong. They have absolutely nailed their car last season and are comfortably riding the wave while everyone else plays catch-up. Combine that with a generational talent like Verstappen that oozes racing and you have absolute domination.
