    Verstappen Is ahead, Perez no so much. This isn’t the same as when every race, Mercedes was 1&2 with Hamilton and Russell due to having a far superior car. It’s amazing there was continual talk of how Hamilton was one of the greatest of all time yet with Verstappen, it’s all credited to the car. Pretty shameful really

        Hamilton and Rosberg was peak mercedes dominance I think.

        Ferrari had a quick car in 2019, until fuelflowgate…

      I hate to say it, but Drive to Survive didn’t exist yet when Lewis was dominating.

      Those that watched Lewis knew where the substance really was.

      Ehh… I do remember a lot of people crediting the car when Hamilton was dominating. I think it’s just part of the sport.

      Truth is: it’s both the driver and the car. Was the case for Hamilton, and is the case for Verstappen now.
