2016, Merc had one of the most dominating cars in history. They won every race but 2, those came down to retirement issues. They had pole in every race but 1.
Lewis got beat by Nico for world title...I knew Hamilton was overrated.

A bit of revisionist history. 2021 was one of the closet seasons in recent history. Still in Merc hybrid era mind you. Merc also out developed RB after the Summer break.
2021
Poles: RB-10 Merc- 9
Fast Laps: RB- 8 Merc- 9
DNF: Max- 2 Lewis- 1

Why is the best driver on the grid slower than his teammate in the same car?
2023
Poles: Russ- 8 Ham- 7
How many races has Lewis won since the Merc hybrid era ended...zero. Russell is the only one to have taken Merc back to the top step.
