FIA has dropped the ball so badly they can't even see it anymore.
Oh well, venting over.

Exactly, they just built a better mousetrap and there's something inherently better about both the chassis and engine. Lewis is dominant but Bottas can stay closer than the field, it's not a Max driving the car better than it's abilities. Lewis is just that ability AND the car that suits him and the rules perfectly.
Although it's getting dull and the midfield seem to settle after about the first third and then it's maintain what you've built. Thankfully some of the drivers don't listen that well so we get a bit of battling but not much. Turns the GP in to a watch the first 15 or so, fast forward through and see what guys try at the end. Or hope for rain to mix things up but that fed the old troll to think sprinklers But with all the tech and modeling data they have it's to be expected. Would rather cut that connection to the factory and make them do it with a few data points and feedback from the driver. Doubt that would hurt MB at all with Lewis knowing what he likes and communicating it and Bottas similar.
