I think Verstappen is a bit of a tool a lot of the time, but there's no denying his insane talent.
Wether it is greater than the likes of Vettel or Lewis at their peak, who's to say, we don't have a time machine to race young Lewis and young Vettel etc in identical cars and see who wins.
But to say that Verstappen is only winning so much because Perrez is bad or the car is good is just them deceiving themselves to sleep better I think.
Perrez is still #2 in the standings, Verstappen has barely made a mistake all season, and Red Bull are killing it with their performance and reliability. They're just doing everything right it seems, apart from overspending on catering once in a while.
Perez is on the same level as Stroll, who is being dominated in a similar fashion by Alonso. Max is good but Perez's poor performence is elevating his accomplishments.
I think you're selling Perez short. I 100% agree he's not on Max's level but if Stroll didn't bring the money he did, noone in their right mind would put Stroll in a car over Perez.
When Perez was teamates with Stroll and Ocon he had similar performances to them. He wasn't a standout talent, think about how Russell performed against teammates at Williams, Sergio didn't have that.
