Verstappen being the only driver to finish with zero track limits. Absolute insane synergy between a driver and his car.
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.
@June @qdJzXuisAndVQb2 I just wish it were more competitive. It’s boring that he wins every time.
Oddly enough, this is the most competitive season in a long while, just not for the first position.
It was the same during Lewis’ 7 seasons of dominance.
@June I wasn’t a fan then, but was he winning by 30-sec. and lapping everyone?
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.
Yes.
He was gone by the first corner, never looking back. You had some days where maybe redbull or ferrari had a sniff, but like a good 90% of the races were decided after T1
Ok then yeah, I can see why people would have gotten tired of that.
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.
On the one hand it was probably easier for him because he had clean air and could take it a bit easier. On the other he could do those things because he put himself so far ahead in the first place!
No Sainz, Hamilton & Verstappen on the list
Hamilton quite clearly breached track limits. Carlos gets a pass.
Two of those aren’t like the other.
Sainz didn’t start due to a problem in his car. Hamilton beached in the very first turn in the first lap itself. Not sure about verstappen but I wouldn’t put past him that he drove in a perfect manner. The synergy between him and his car is unbelievable.
Verstappen, keeping massive distance between him and his competition while not going over track limits ONCE is insane.
He is built different
