[@EXQCmoi]

I think the best man is seldom 1% faster (probably less) than the rest. Max too. But another champion might win some and lose some, and due to the law of large numbers he finally wins the championship by the narrowest margin. But with Max it's different. While others express their 1% dominance on average, Max seems to be able to do that all the time. Every race, every corner, every damn second of the race. That's why he takes it all.

Think his most impressive record is the percentage of possible points he scored, which you didn't mention. It's about 93% if I'm correct. He just left 7% on the table, to do that over the many races we had, shows how without mistakes he really was this year.

Why are people still questioning if this is the most dominant season in F1 history? I know numbers don't tell the whole story, but I can't think of any other season that even comes close to stacking up against this one.

[@lllouise9]

Because it's Max. If it were a british driver, they would've already made that british driver a statue. The sport itself has always been biased esp if the driver is a threat to a british driver's records/career.

[@cyg7462]

I've been watching red bull's race since 2019, red bull's success is doomed. Over the years they always try to be the best in every aspect of a team. And you can see the driver Max impove himself every year. What they lack is just the car, or the engine. These are the reasons why mercedes look not competetive in 2021 even with the fastest car and why toto wolf was so deperate to ask fia to change the rule in order to confine red bull's tyre changing because mercedes's tyre changing is much slower than red bull's. Last year red bull has a 'W09' and its already a record breaking season. This year red bull has a 'W11', and they show how dominant a team can be if being top in every aspect.

[@truth4reel]

This record is so crazy that I believe it will never be beaten in the next decade. That's if f1 is still around. Max's dominance is not due to just driver skill above the rest as the difference between the top drivers is not accurately represented by the gap between him and the other top drivers. If he had a Russell or Charles or Lewis or Alonso they would have taken victories from him. Sergio is the correct teammate for team harmony and Max's dominance. Everything that's being said about Max in terms of superlatives has been said about Lewis when he had the dominant car. Peter himself said he was impossible to beat. Without the machine the qualities of the special drivers won't shine as bright as they should. Lewis was sublime just over 2 years ago, you don't just unlearn how to be fast. Look at Marc Marquez in MotoGP, he won 6 straight but since Ducati took over Honda Marquez fell into the pack. Does that mean Marquez is slow all of a sudden and Paco is the new light? Same here in F1. Everything that Max is doing with the dominant Redbull car at the front Lewis was doing it in the dominant Mercedes at the front. He did it so well that Max always pointed out that if you have the fastest car you can do all those pace control and tire saving tricks and not make mistakes. Max used to say this in the conferences a lot when he used to finish 3rd all the time and sometimes second. However I can say that Max as a driver in the best car has been more consistent than Lewis was in the best car. Max has been more decisive than Lewis in the dominant car because he's been willing to attempt high risk moves. Lewis is known to relinquish the fight for a less risky move down the line so drivers fight against him more. Max on the other hand is and has always been a bully on track and just don't give a f#$k in the press room afterwards, so drivers don't want to tangle with him. Redbull has a clear #1and #2 driver hierarchy in the team so all the decision naturally benefit Max first. I fully agree with that, that guarantees your best driver has the best chance of beating the other teams best drivers. Merc can't do that because George is no chump and has championship talent. So Lewis has to share the favorable decisions 50/50 with his teammates until he or his teammate is significantly ahead by a certain phase in the championship. That to me is too late if you have opponents like Redbull and Max. The other thing is that Redbull has been the best team in F1 in terms of race management since before the hybrid era. Their strategies are always on point and when they need to gamble they don't hesitate and make the best of it unlike Merc. If, by some miracle, Merc and Ferrari or McLaren are within a couple tenths in race pace next year we will start to see more mistakes from Max and Redbull and overall a better fight for the championship.

[@diaryofawanderingboot]

You get old, you loose the edge. It's the norm , no one's special in that department. Well maybe except kimi. Whom every driver in the rosters calls a freak of nature for raw talent. Rossi , Marquez, shum, Hamilton they all hit peaks and then young blood steps up. It'll happen to vestappen too. By the way, Hamilton has not been quicker by that much over Russel. So... You see ,he himself has said he's doubting himself. Nobody can beat age, better skill, or a faster car.

The red bull this year was dominant the first couple of races .. Mercedes has been much more dominant the past years( 14,15,16 and 19&20 ) .. Perez for example only scored 54 point in the second half of the year .. if the red bull was truly dominant like the Mercedes was Perez would have been second basically every time ( just like Bottas ). So that whole “sky sports narrative “ that the red bull is the most dominant car ever is just BS.
