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.
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.
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
That’s why I don’t understand why people complain about verstappen.
People who do it are either new fans who have no idea about the history of the sport or how the sport works or salty Hamilton fans who are pissed that their favourite driver is not dominating anymore.
Domination is the norm, not the exception in this sport. There were seasons, of course, where we had some incredible fight, but that’s more of an exception than the rule
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!
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.

@June @qdJzXuisAndVQb2 I just wish it were more competitive. It’s boring that he wins every time.
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.

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.
Yes.

Ok then yeah, I can see why people would have gotten tired of that.

Oddly enough, this is the most competitive season in a long while, just not for the first position.
