I really love it and find it funny, that when Lewis is winning and being fast, people say it was just because of the car. But when Lewis falls back in positions and is not able to perform well, it is because he is a bad driver.

Well I think your absolutely right but Lewis himself does this aswel… When Max wins and Lewis is second it’s purely bc of the red bull being faster but he won’t say ‘and a great drive from Verstappen’ and he always blames his car or team if he has a bad race almost never himself…
