You equate the strive for an egalitarian society with racing drivers having equal equipment.

My friend, you are conveniently ignoring the 6 years where Lewis won 2/3rds of the races for McLaren and dominated pole positions against all of his team mates by 87% to 13% over those seasons against KOV, ALO and BUT. The only good team mate VER has had is RIC and he DID NOT beat him let alone dominate him.

It isn't the car, my friend.

Either you just started watching F1 about 3 minutes ago or you're a troll.
If Max isn't a worthy adversary, why block him in your contract if you're Lewis? Should he block block George Russell too? If it weren't for a puncture he would've demonstrated just how good the car is by standing atop the podium with less than a week in the drivers seat and too small of a shoe! That or he's just that good.... at least the team balanced out the drivers by installing the wrong tires on the wrong car. Just to protect their golden child's reputation. A team that good just doesn't make that mistake by accident. If you think otherwise, you've only been watching F1 for 3 days or you're a troll.

Put Lewis in the FW43B and let your boy show us just how much of his achievements are driver related.

Never happened, there was/is no "Verstappen clause"...it was made up BS by some half witted Dutch journalist and pounced upon by Verstappen worshipping fans as proof of something or other.
Verstappen is contracted to Red Bull until 2023.
This was covered earlier in the thread.

So true. The vast majority of top historical drivers were "dickheads" in some sort of way. Arrogance, self-assurance and competitivity are the fabric of champions, with the drawbacks that come with it.

In Niki Lauda, Mercedes also lost a key element of what made the fabric of this team. His influence, leadership, will power and driving force cannot be underestimated. It will be interesting to see where Mercedes lands without him.

Oh boy.

Lewis Hamilton at McLaren:

26 of 30 pole positions that the team achieved from 2007 to 2012. 87%
21 of 33 victories the team achieved from the same time period. 64%

I have been watching F1 for over 45 years.

VER is the most overhyped driver I've ever seen. Sir Lewis has more pole positions in the 6th fastest car on the grid from 2009 than Max has in his entire career. Max has no one-lap speed, makes questionable decisions, and was exposed in Turkey as never before.

The ONLY way he wins a WDC is for Sir Lewis to retire. And even then it's no guarantee. RIC beat him over their time there and he's had shrubs for team mates. Sir Lewis has been teamed with 3 WDCs and bet them 5 of 7 times. His resume is unassailable unless a person knows NOTHING about F1 or has some other motivation.

Mercedes will still do well but I expect a tail off.

For the real story remember that McLaren hasn't won a race or achieved a pole position since Sir Lewis left the team. That is almost 10 years ago.
