That’s why having a dominant car hasn’t been good for anybody’s reputation ever.
It would have been much better for Hamilton’s reputation if RB/Ferrari would be closer in outright performance and he’d still be winning. Because then people would say:
The cars arent’t far apart, but Hamilton is making the difference.
Now the feeling many have is: ‘Sure Hamilton has been driving strong, but if a new guy in the car can put it on P2 in his first wknd in the car, the car is making the difference’
This is the most pointless argument of all of mankind. Car makes difference.
Of course it does ffs. Are people really trying to argue that cars don't make a difference?
That doesn't mean that what Lewis has achieved isn't any more special. Consistently great, consistently winning and consistently performing when his car isn't quite their that weekend.
You have all quickly wiped that ferrari beast of a PU from you memories.
But thats it isn't it. Just move goal posts all the time.
Did anyone think George wouldn't do well this weekend or are you all desperate to use it as srick to beat Lewis? I mean he has driven the mercs before, he's involved in there junior programme and he has also been racing all year and is race fit. To top it off he is a very talented driver.
The track is also the shortest with minimal corners which means its very difficult to make loads of time.
I know your desperate to wipe Lewis whole career away and I'm sure as soon as he gets near to the end and starts losing you will use that as evidence his whole career was rubbish but I think its time to let go. Downtalking Lewis doesn't make your driver look any better.
