Ask HAAS why McLaren is better…technology.
Ask McLaren why Mercedes is better…technology.
Ask Red Bull why Mercedes is better in 2020…technology.
Ask Mercedes why Red Bull is better in 2021…technology.


It comes straight from the mouths of the drivers themselves. Every single time.

Before Hamilton, there was Schumacher. He was mediocre outside Ferrari. Take Hamilton from Mercedes…will he win? Sure. Will he dominate? No way.

By the way, not everything is Hamilton vs Verstappen, I don't care about any driver that much, but since you take it there, Verstappen has wiped the floor with Hamilton this season, DNF and luck excluded. When they are actually racing this season, Verstappen clearly is better. I don't think it has anything to do with skill of the drivers. Red Bull just has the better car, for now.
I can truly tell that you know very little about F1. It isn't technology that makes a team better. It's people and application of technology. They are all mandated to use the same materials and many of the parts, which are listed, MUST be used. It isn't technology but, rather, creativity within the rules structure.

You are saying my data and details blind me? This is F1. It's about nothing but data and details. For you to even make a statement like that tells me sooooooo much. You are like so many who look at the sport in a snapshot and make broad statements when the longitudinal data look says something quite different. You are fighting data with opinion. Well...go for it. And continue to be blind.

How long have you been watching the sport?
