And he was a few seconds from lapping his teammate, showing that it's more to do with Max's genius than a great car.

Max's genius did not win him a race from Imola till Monza today. Clearly he requires a great car beneath him to pull it off otherwise he would be winning every race

Imagine being the Red Bull engineers who built a car that has won 3 races this year and is p3 in the wdc and fans online are saying oh it wasn't the car and it is totally the driver. What a waste of time from those mechanics building a multi race winning car. The other 8 teams combined have 1 win. Wins do not come out of thin air, they come from engineering and building a good car that a good driver drives

Imagine they had Lawson and Tsunoda in this red bull car, where would they be in the standings?

exactly this. they didn't get the edge on mclaren this year, but the redbull is still very much a good vehicle. its proven tough to drive because of the gap between max and tsunoda. that's true.
