      Possibly in the near future as well. Cars will be slower next year so to reduce tyre stress, and the cars will get approximately 4 seconds slower in 2022. So we may not see a faster car for over a decade, and not a grippier one for multiple decades

      Raj Bhavsar MV may be right if and only if the car is engineered to the driving style of 50% of the grid. The only reason why he’s outperforming the Red Bull is because the car was literally built to suit MV’s style. I believe the Mercedes was built to suit LH’s style and LH is just an overall better driver than VB, which is why LH is outperforming VB by quite a bit.

    It feels like after every qualifying everyone’s thinking what happened Ferrari? And f1 posts a video of Hamilton’s pole lap. And everyone hopes max can do something to challenge Mercedes

      Max IS "challenging Mercedes..." He's a couple of .0000s behind Bottas and he's also ahead of him in the standings.

    Think of all the people it takes to do this. You have the designers to create this monster, you have the engineers who need to know how to set the car up to extract the maximum performance, and you have to have the drivers able to extract said performance. Mercedes have the ultimate combination of designers, engineers and drivers. Especially Hamilton.

      That's why it's always good to hear him thank the team, from the factory all the way up to Toto.

      Bro put any decent driver in the place of hamilton and they would also win all the time. The work of the engeneers and designers is more important than the driver itself if u want to win championships, i think
