2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Yas Marina, Nov 18 - 20

Max is really peerless. Perez proves RBR is a good car, Max makes it dominant. I agree with you all, that Max in any of the top 3 cars this year would still win the 2022 title.

Max would have not won in any other car other than the RB both last year as well as this year.

Give leclrc that red bull he wins all races in hit.. its all down to the car as perez proves it lol

I don't think Max would have thrown away the 25 point win in Baku.

What's the contract situation for the Mercedes drivers?
Sainz, Leclerc and Perez have two more years and Verstappen has another six I think

[harty71]

Depends who they had driving the RBR

I think the next best driver is either Leclerc or Norris.

But they would already have seats, I mean who would Red Bull have brought in if not him? Possibly Gasly or Albon?

They could put anybody in the sister car, none are on the level he is.

I agree here. I think Norris just has the edge. Granted he doesnt have the car for podiums or victories, he has had a very good season in terms of racing.

Max is in a league of his own, the debate is who's second best on the grid.

ofcourse the car suddenly has nothing to do with that

Car has Nothing to do with it at all ...

to be precise from the floor directives at the start of 2021 onwards..which suited RB's high rake concept and shifted the balance in RB's favour.

Till then when mercs were mopping the floor and it was all Car ...lewis had nothing to do with it. but as soon as RB started dominating ...its all Max.

Does not matter. There is no other driver in any team having 100% of the staff working for him. Every upgrade and every strategic decision is made to suit him. Second driver is just a puppet.

Max has a butler for a teammate .. we know he's scared of a strong teammate put charles ir norris in that car.. richardo already showed him up in 2016-2017 anyway.. its all about thant dominant car even the f2 driver looked worlclass in it lol

Like Hamilton had with Bottas? With Russell in now and hindsight to boost, we know why he begged for Mercedes to keep Bottas.

I fail to see how the last 2 pages of this tread are relevant to the Abu Dhabi grand prix of 2022?

I thought that, especially with Bottas always seeming to fight hard against Lewis, but looking how well they get on outside of the track maybe he was just supporting a mate.

Lol let him have a world class teammate first.. guy is just a newey passanger like villenue hill patrese newey makes the most average drivers compete

I agree that he has the best car (as did the others you mention) but it is the same car the team mate is driving
(as did the others you mention )

Who?
They tried to sign Norris and he stayed with McLaren. No one else has been available.

What use is a Perez as a number two anyway? He is useless in qualifying and significantly slower in the race
