[@moiseulpasmoi]

TL:WR; Lewis in the Redbull would still be top Long read In 2021, F1 changed its regulations thus affected Mercedes' low rake concept. However, Mercedes and Hamilton fought till the last race until the Massicre that was the last lap. If Charlie was still at the helm it'd been 8 for both LH44 and Merc. Coming to the new regs, Honda knowing they were to exit, which they aren't, were given "leeway" to develop their engine despite the development freeze. This gave them the rocket ship that is their engine. Combine that with Adrian Newey's big brain design and bam! An engineering master piece. So from 2022 onwards it's just Redbull top. And Max being Max, he drives the f out of that piece of art. In conclusion, Merc were not blind sided by Max, Max is a generational talent but Lewis is just something else. A bona fide GOAT

Something I missed in this whole thingemajiggy that's a Hamilton ad: The fact that the mercedes had the engine before anybody else; toto pushed for this engine concept with fia, and fia obliged (knowing toto's huge influence on f1), so they had a multi YEAR lead on that part. That mercedes engine was so all powerful that they could've bolted it to a filled port-a-potty and still win. Plus the millions they thrown at that car, made it almost impossible for anybody else to come close. And then there were those infamous words from the wall; "Vallteri, it's James..." But now all of that is restricted, it comes to the car and driver, and then the talent of 'sir' lewis isn't that great.

[@barnabasranch5415]

Both correct, the team and car were being fine tuned and then came the already advanced engine. Pastor Maldonado could have won 7 driver’s championships in that car. Hamilton is a decent driver but the reality is that there have been many more talented than him in his career. Almost all of the truly remarkable drivers started in turd bucket cars and teams and still dazzled with their talent. Hamilton started at the top, was favored by his team because he had been a junior member since becoming a teenager by none other than Ron Dennis, and yet was only on par with established drivers. Unfortunately, those that only look at how many wins one has will never realize the talent of truly great drivers eg:Jim Clark, Gilles Villenueve, Aryton Senna etc.

I am saying this because the Redbull wasn't as good as the Mercedes in the 2021 season but he still won it and yes I agree, that wasn't without controversy, but you can say that the only reason that it was a tie, is because of other controversy all around the season like, Silverstone, Monza and whatnot.

The differences in machinery of Mercedes vs RB, McLaren and Ferrari has been apparent all season, especially Suzuka.

Mercedes have enough money to max out the budget cap regardless of how much Hamilton costs. Paying him less would not allow them to pump more into R&D. Pre budget cap you have a valid point though.

Driver salaries don't play into the cost cap

Deep down, Mercedes know it's only a matter of time before they start to resurface from it's fledgling stance and start to fight competitively again. They did it in 2013, and I think it's that mindset of having to return to "how do we get better" instead of "how do we stop the others from getting better" that's starting to ripple inbetween the works of the AMG. They're clearly going the right direction, but they need to speed it up before Lewis starts to look at faster, higher competitors, like McLaren or (as mentioned) Ferrari.

ik ur probably thinking of austria when typing this, and i kinda agree, but theres a difference between the car just not having the pace, and the car being undriveable. in austria, the car "just won't turn", in ham's words. Which caused him to get 15 seconds of penalties for track limits. Meanwhile in the rest of the races, u can see the car was ok but just not fast. And those times, hamilton didn't complain as much. Basically, he cares a lot for the driveability of the car, just like any driver. The same reason why max complains quite a lot, even with a car that is one of the most dominant in the history of f1.

[@Amm17ar]

@@musicalchicken1024 Yeah fair point, I just thought the fact that Toto had to get on the radio to tell him to just please drive the car was a bit frustrating to hear. I do get it though, you want to be competitive and have a car that can at least turn properly lol. I get both sides, but sometimes it can get a bit much from my perspective.

Surely people have realized by now F1 results are 90% car, 5% driver and 5% strategy. I mean, Max Verstappen is not a terrible driver, but he's not that good. And neither was Hamilton when he dominated. I think if you put every single F1 driver in identical cars with identical setups and identical strategies for an entire season, the results would be all over the place. I think if an F1 fan was truly honest with themselves, they'd realize it's more a show rather than a fair, competitive motorsport.

[@petripuumalainen8789]

I would say it depends on the situations. In some races. Let say Silverstone 1993 or spain 1996, the driver performance of the winning driver was way more than 50%

Slight constructive criticism... random word splashes don't move the story forward, nor do they help highlight information if they're constantly splashed around. The brain can't hold onto that much information every paragraph. It's like this. Let's say I'm describing my day yesterday (caps locking to represent your word splashes): "Yesterday I WOKE UP and then went DOWNSTAIRS. I got a CALL from my boss on my MOTOROLA phone who said I was LATE. I realized that the power was OFF from last night's STORM." Not very appealing, is it? And you might ask yourself "Why are you emphasizing so many random words?" That's what your audience is subconsciously asking themselves, while at the same time developing visual fatigue. If you want to highlight a significant word or piece of information, display something that it can contrast with - either the entire sentence or use graphics. And try to be a bit more choosy. Not every subject of every sentence deserves to have its word splashed on the screen.

Lewis and Max are just built different. All of the „it’s just luck“ sayers are just trash talkers. Right now nobody is able to even come close to the racecraft and mindset both have. Every generation there are 1 or 2 drivers who just stand out and continue the legacy until there is someone to beat the other… Senna and Prost… Schumacher and Alonso… Lewis is a pretty old guy in F1 terms now. Dude is on the grid since 16 years. We should happily allow him to get old and pay respect where respect needs to be paid.

[@yubakadi217]

Leclerc and Norris are faster than Lewis

[@stuartsmith5308]

There's no reason to hate a team for making the fastest car, is this not what we want for our own team. It's just if any other team make a fastest car we then hate them. We wouldn't hate them if our team had made the fastest car. So, don't hate Red Bull or Mercedes. With the fastest car ofcourse you are going to be world driver champion each year. But, that doesn't mean you are the best driver in the world. Its like every team has similar porsche 911 carreras and your team has 911 gt3's. I think calling a driver a world champion is ridiculous based on his car is faster. I only think you can award fastest car of the year championship, based on whos car was fastest. Putting the top drivers in the slowest cars they would never win a world championship. And putting the slowest drivers in the fastest cars, they would be the best driver in the world every year.

What is happening? That he doesn't have a car that is one second and a half faster than the rest of the grid. That is what happens. Of course kids that started watching F1 in the hybrid era think he is the GOAT, but the ones that have been watching this for a while know the truth.

[@stupidAlcoholic]

You make it sound like Lewis is no match for Verstappen or Schumacher. Truth is, those three are so close to each other in terms of raw pace you got to put them all in the same car in order to find out who is faster.

[@robbiesmart2819]

He was thought of as F1’s most exciting driver since his rookie year a good 7 years before the hybrid era tbf. If he didn’t go to Mercedes in 2013, you can bet he’d have been hired by them or Ferrari or Red Bull not long after. If he went to Ferrari he’d likely be a 2 or 3 time champion because of 2017 and especially 2018 because the difference there was the driver more than the car, and if he went to RedBull he’d at least be in 3 serious title fights between ‘21 and now. There’s no version of events where he doesn’t go down as one of the greats.

[@Foxvalleyproduction]

Red bull should have Alonzo in car seat 2, instead of Perez.

[@schalkerleiden]

I honestly think he isn’t past his prime. After 2021 he was pretty disillusioned with the sport and the car after the rule changes was shit. I think he’s got the 8th title in him, if Mercedes can build a car that can more closely match the RB.

After 2011, Hamilton was not beaten by his teammates because of team orders.

Toto got furious and Rosberg knew it won't happan again, and promptly retired. He had no desire to play second fiddle. Bottas tought he can race Hamilton, but was put back into his place real fast.

Wouldnt work, RB can only build a car for one driver only, look at all the teammates of Max... And then look at Perez at the start of last season and this season. Before the car gets completely convertered to Max´s style and preference. Max has a wierd style and whats alot of oversteer aslong as the nose is planted. If Lewis where to join, the team would be split in two camps and it would be a disaster for the team. RB simply cannot take input from two drivers and get their car to function with both of them (or dont want to as long as Max´s performing) Thats why what Perez is doing is so good, driving a car made for someone elses complete prefferences and style with a decent amount of speed still. Not saying that Perez is equal to Max, hes not.
