Come on now. The Merc is an absolute beast. Imo is the most dominant car in f1 history. Unless Honda or Ferrari can pull a rabbit out, nobody will catch them. I hope I am proved wrong.

Second stint Ham put on hards and starts turning something like 1:29's in clean air while Vettel was only managing 1:31's. That's off memory from one viewing, but it was an enormous gap he built gaining over 2 seconds a lap for a number of laps. Good grief. Chilton could win a championship in this car.

What I want to see is exceptional, historic, unbelievable moves because he has the car to do it by god. I'm great if Ham can pull some serious driving feats to make this a memorable championship. Happy to applaud and more power to him...but this cruising to another championship thing is disappointing. They really missed it on this formulae.

The Mercedes W06 is no where near as dominant as the W05. It is simply not true that Chilton could win it. The Ferraris are so close now that they need quick consistent drivers to be able to stay ahead.

Once again I'll point out that dominance is nothing new. It is what shapes up the type of sport F1 is and is always going to happen.

To me, and others out there, there is so much more to a race or a season than who wins. Things are as complex as how deep you look at them. It's when people turn on a race expecting to see "exceptional, historic, unbelievable moves", then come on here just to moan about how boring the race was (to them) that people like me start to get annoyed, when it happens week in week out. It's like going to see your favourite band, and some guy is in the front jumping up and down shouting " this music sucks!". It becomes a real downer after a while.

And at least McLaren and Mercedes lets its drivers fight, unlike lamers at Ferrari.
