I'm just saying that I think we'll see another instance of max taking a shit car to ridiculously high championship position

Perez was on similar footing in 2022 and early 2023
Even in late 2023 Perez was usually fighting among the Ferraris, Mercedes, and McLarens
In 2018, Ricciardo was performing very similar to Verstappen whenever he wasn't screwed over by bad luck and unreliability
Would Ricciardo and 2021-23 Perez be God drivers as well?
Or is it not a case of the car being bad and Verstappen being a God driver rather than the car being the single hardest on the grid to drive
If it's the latter, Verstappen won't fight for the title but he will still outperform his car, especially at medium to high downforce tracks

Like, dominating 19 of 22 races in a shitbox, that requires supernatural powers

That's what I am saying
If Verstappen were in a Marussia in his prime then he would have only scored points occasionally

Failed to start? Where's this been reported

I'm in no way implying that the RB 19 was a bad car, that thing was class of the field
The RB 21, on the other hand...

Verstappen dominated USA last year, which was one of that car's weakest tracks. By that logic Verstappen has supernatural powers
