    but that’s the point — the rb car is so much better than everything else on the grid, and the complete lack of competition makes the achievement somewhat meaningless in a certain light.

      More boring? Absolutely. Meaningless in any way? Absolutely not.

      They still have to deliver every race.

      Besides, I’ve never heard another team make these kind of pathetic comments about Mercedes’ dominance all those years. This is just salty and stupid because it makes them look like sore immature losers.

        Yeah, nobody ever said it’s just the car for Lewis. Get out of here with that.

            From the fans, sure, but he said from the other teams. I can’t personally remember any such comments.

              I can’t remember all of them but there were a handful of drivers (Alonso, Max) that said they could win if their car was as fast as Mercedes. It’s normal for drivers to think they are the best and their talents are not the reason for the performence.

                Which is different from saying that winning in the fastest car is meaningless

        Yeah, people keep forgetting F1 is a team sport and I don’t mean between the drivers, but the entire team. These 10 in a row is because the entire team made 0 fatal mistakes for this long and they did their job in the last few years to get the new regs right.
