Lewis does have a great (best) car and you'll get the odd idiot in here who will vehemently deny it but he's still a fantastic driver

f1 is boring as fuck nowadays, Mercedes are so superior it’s not even a contest anymore, every single race is Mercedes dominated, even when they aren’t first they still win the race, Ferrari and red bull seem to be going backwards

A bit like the last race when Ferrari had it in the bag. Yet Lewis forced an error.

There hasn’t been a good season long battle between two teams since 2012 now.

2013 - Vettel won like 9 races in a row to easily win
2014 - Mercedes miles ahead. Bahrain this year was a great race.
2015 - I don’t remember this one. Merc on another planet.
2016 - Okay this one was actually a good contest but it was still two Mercs and not rival teams.
2017 - I don’t remember this one at all. Merc still comfortably quicker than the chasing pack.
2018 - Vettel had a good run for half a season before he fell apart and Ferrari got easily out developed by Mercedes.
2019 - Mercedes are miles ahead on most tracks. Ferrari have an advantage at a few but Vettel has lost his head and Ferrari can’t make any decent strategy calls so they still lose.

There’s been 100+ races of Mercedes domination now. That’s 10% of all the races EVER run in Formula One from 1950!

Or like Lewis being behind both Ferrari and Bottas in practice laps, then pulling a blinder of a lap in qualifying out of nowhere to get pole. As he's done several times. The margins are much, much finer than they appear. But him being able to do that is a sign of his greatness. He is the Sergio of the tarmac.

I think a big problem is that it's rare for the best team to have two top drivers now.
McLaren used to dominate in the 80s but at least you'd have excellent inner team rivalries with Senna and Prost.
I'd love it if Mercedes went and got verstappen or Vettel next season to partner Lewis just for the entertainment aspect but it will never happen

Yep. Or when Ferrari were blowing everyone away in Bahrain until car trouble cost Leclerc certain victory.
 
Should bang them all in the same cars and see who’s really the best driver

Heard of F2?
Designed to make racing affordable for the teams and to make it an ideal training ground for life in Formula One, Formula 2 has made it mandatory for all of the teams to use the same chassis, engine and tyre supplier so that true driver ability is reflected.

I agree although I wouldn’t have Vettel (2019) as one of the top four drivers in F1. The new breed have caught him up and Vettel has never fared well under pressure.
