    Their comments would’ve held some water if they were fighting for wins at least in half the races, they just look like sore losers now.

    Reminds me of the “you took everything from me” “I don’t even know who you are” meme

      but that’s the point — the rb car is so much better than everything else on the grid, and the complete lack of competition makes the achievement somewhat meaningless in a certain light.

        More boring? Absolutely. Meaningless in any way? Absolutely not.

        They still have to deliver every race.

        Besides, I’ve never heard another team make these kind of pathetic comments about Mercedes’ dominance all those years. This is just salty and stupid because it makes them look like sore immature losers.

          Yeah, nobody ever said it’s just the car for Lewis. Get out of here with that.

              From the fans, sure, but he said from the other teams. I can’t personally remember any such comments.

                I can’t remember all of them but there were a handful of drivers (Alonso, Max) that said they could win if their car was as fast as Mercedes. It’s normal for drivers to think they are the best and their talents are not the reason for the performence.

                  Which is different from saying that winning in the fastest car is meaningless
