    He’s a monster. Peak Hamilton vibes, give him the car, he will put it where it belongs. I think he’s more ruthless than Hamilton, actually.

      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.

          It was the same during Lewis’ 7 seasons of dominance.

              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.

                Even then they weren’t ahead or winning by that much. And of the Merc wins you had the constant fight between Hamilton and Rosberg. Any given race you had 1 of 3 drivers that could win, in 2014 Ham/Ros/Ric, 2015 Ham/Ros/Vet, 2016 was pretty much Ham/Ros though.

                  They weren’t that far ahead because the Mercedes was turned down to hide their true potential.

              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.
