Toto on Max’s 10 in a row: Our situation was different because we had two guys fighting against each other within the team. I don’t know whether he cares about the record. It’s not something that would be important for me, any of those numbers. It’s for Wikipedia. Nobody reads that anyway

    If anything, winning 10 in a row shows problems with the sport. It’s supposed to be a competition.

      What can be done? Besides the RBR/Max combo, the rest of the field seems to be tighter than at any point in the past decade (maybe even two decades).

        I don’t think I’ve ever seen the entire field so tight. It’s just Max in the RBR that stands out.

        If this were cycling, max would be doping. It wouldn’t be a question. It is plainly odd; this I’d just ten in a row it’s ten complete and utter incomparable dominations. They weren’t races for max, just formalities. That is odd. Great car, sure, but it speaks to something else being a little off, whether that’s regulations or the driver or economics I can’t say. Max is an insanely talented driver, and probably one of the best there has ever been, not taking anything away from him in that regard.

      Well it is still a competition. Red bull are winning because they made a great car and have a driver who will go down as legendary. Similarly merc had a great car and legendary driver combo. It would only cease to be a competition if Red Bull are given the victory irrespective of where they finish or it comes out that the entire F1 season is scripted in a similar way to WWE
