Your analysis of 2018 lacks the mechanical dnf and mechanical grid penalty disparity between Ric and Ver.
Ric had 2 more poles (Ver had 0), the same number of wins, and 2 more fastest lap awards (Ver had 2), while having 4 more DNF total (8 in total for Ric!! And let's not forget one of those was from Ver crashing them both out in Azerbaijan after a series of illegal defenses, where Ric was clearly faster), and more grid penalties than Ver. Check my stats though. Could be off.
Also, Ver was favored by the team. Whether this affected Ric's chance at a fair fight...It sure seems possible.
I'm not shitting on Max either, but this forum has a way of trying to shit on everybody else to lift their "own guy" up. It's annoying. Recognize that there is other talent and these guys aren't untouchable.

Well mate as you can see : The podium list from "RIC vs MAX"
RIC from 2014 - 2020 = In *7 years 31 podiums => 7 victories
MAX from 2016 - 2020 = In *5 years 42 podiums => 10 victories
So actually ,It's not really hard to see who the better driver was and still is...
