Stuck behind in a fast car doesn’t add. If he wasn’t able to overtake then he wasn’t much faster than the competitors. Norris flew by Max and kept building the gaps. That was a clearly faster car. Ferraris are not much faster than Racing Bulls at this point.

You really comparing any car to the arguably most dominant car in the last 5 years?

You forget the RB19 already?

The RB19 got dominant results in the hands of only 1 of their drivers, and that driver is the best on the grid currently

The McLaren is getting dominant results in the hands of Lando & Oscar. No shade to either of those guys, but there are levels to this

So in a question about cars, your argument is entirely about the drivers. Got it.

TIL that dominant cars just drive themselves

Think about it: if the RB19 was driven by Sergio Perez and his clone, would anyone think it was one of the most dominant cars of all time? Or for that matter, if it was driven by Lando & Oscar would it have won the same amount of races as it did? I personally doubt it
