Don't take this to mean that half the field is just as good as Max though. He does seem to have a special, raw talent. Just pointing out that there is good talent further down the field that could achieve that. There's a reason why they are in F1 after all  |
Mmmm...That's really strange . As the Merc fanboys are always saying It's not the Merc , It's the GOAT !
It's the driver , so in this situation It's HAM and not the fastest car of the decade ...
So....from your statement , others can do it as well from the moment they are driving a Merc .
Or put Grosjean in the RB16 and he would split the Mercs ?
While Albon drives a RB16 as well... Don't see him ? |
I didn't say the whole field, I said half
Grosjean used to be rated very well. Remember his time with Lotus and being partnered with Kimi? He held his own very well. Not sure why he fell of pace so much...
Regarding the Mercedes, it's the car/driver combo. Other drivers would have been able to win in the Mercedes, but most likely without the same frequency or consistency. His skill did play a large part in his seven titles, but the car did play a role in helping him achieve his records. To say it's only the car is to be a bit ignorant of the skill it takes to drive these cars.
