The problem there is that JW clearly hasn't been as fast without Ludo. This is probably one of his worst seasons on a performance level having only won 4 races (1 of which was gifted to him). Possibly only his poor rookie season and the year he finished 5th were worse. Of his 7 titles this is by far his least dominant. Even Bathurst was the first time in a long time that he wasn't the dominant car.
The one that was really dominant is the very team/car Ludo went to... #17.
I do think JW is one of the GOAT in this series (not in all motorsports obviously... Fangio, Clark, Senna, Schumacher... no way he's better than them), but you have to wonder how much Ludo comes into it after this season.
