    Nuts that last year the Mercedes was, depending on the track, the 3rd to 6th best car on the grid, and yet Lewis for a good while was battling for 2nd in the WDC, against someone in literally the most dominant F1 car of all time.

      And it came down to the end on that 2nd in the WDC. Can’t keep the guy off the podium or out of the contest for championship stuff. It’s pretty cool to watch.

      Hamilton genuinely amazes me. When I think about Merc drivers I remember Russell trying to squeeze every point out of the car and Hamilton complaining about the car. And then I end up watching the overall standing and Hamilton is ahead of Russell? Like a magician he pulls points out of nowhere.
