None of the guys at that level are bad, but the question around him is "who did he beat in a similar car ?" Weber. That's it. He got clobbered by Ricciardo and left red bull. Makes you wonder. I'm truly not a Hamilton fan, but Lewis dominated everywhere he went, there are no questions, and precious few mistakes. I'd say the same of Alonso, for all his flaws he rarely threw a race away. You cannot have the same certainty about Vettel - he's cracked under pressure many time in the last few seasons.

Not in my mind. I always look at the other car and see where it finishes.

Go look at the Mercedes years, Mercedes 1-2 all season long = its the car.

Go look at the RBR seasons, where was the other car? Not 2nd, it was the driver.

I have a text file somewhere that shows all the years from RBR vs. Mercedes and Mercedes has a extremely dominant car. RBR did not.
