Even with Mercedes dominance, at least they are allowed to race
I don't think Barrichello ever stood a chance of winning the WDC. though he did go on to win 4 GPs and finish second in the WDC that year. Bottas didn't win a single race in 2018, though ironically, he won in Russia the previous year. Interestingly, both Bottas and Barrichelo got pole in those races.
