More boring? Absolutely. Meaningless in any way? Absolutely not.
They still have to deliver every race.
Besides, I’ve never heard another team make these kind of pathetic comments about Mercedes’ dominance all those years. This is just salty and stupid because it makes them look like sore immature losers.
Yeah, nobody ever said it's just the car for Lewis. Get out of here with that.
Yeah, I remember a LOT of the same “it’s just the car” shit in 2015/2016.
From the fans, sure, but he said from the other teams. I can't personally remember any such comments.
I can't remember all of them but there were a handful of drivers (Alonso, Max) that said they could win if their car was as fast as Mercedes. It's normal for drivers to think they are the best and their talents are not the reason for the performence.
Which is different from saying that winning in the fastest car is meaningless
