    but that’s the point — the rb car is so much better than everything else on the grid, and the complete lack of competition makes the achievement somewhat meaningless in a certain light.

      More boring? Absolutely. Meaningless in any way? Absolutely not.

      They still have to deliver every race.

      Besides, I’ve never heard another team make these kind of pathetic comments about Mercedes’ dominance all those years. This is just salty and stupid because it makes them look like sore immature losers.

        Yeah, people keep forgetting F1 is a team sport and I don’t mean between the drivers, but the entire team. These 10 in a row is because the entire team made 0 fatal mistakes for this long and they did their job in the last few years to get the new regs right.

            Not wanting to take too much away from max and red bull but I do wonder how well other teams would be doing it they had also ignored the cost cap.

              Strange way of saying “I wonder how well other teams would be doing if they had also nailed the new regulations to perfection”

              Mate, let it go. Ultimately is was 400k I believe?

              The decreased wind tunnel-time and CFD-time do have an impact, so I can’t imagine any advantage from that 400k to still be lasting.

                The 400k is a lie. It was over a million. The 400k figure was if they had applied for a tax break they didn’t apply for and had been granted it.

                  If you are correcting figures one way, you have to correct them both ways. That is how financial auditors always work.
