Yes. But I foresee a Toto Directive being penned one of these days.
Additionally, looking at how Checo cuts through the field vs how Max cuts through the field I firmly believe that Max really is the speshul sauce that sets the RB apart from the rest.
It’s the best car, for sure, but it isn’t 30secs per race better than the field unless Max is driving it.
I’d pay real schmeckos to see Lando, Piastri, Russel, Fernando and Lewis do runs in it to get an average baseline of it’s performance.
Like let Max, Lando, Piastri, Russel, Fernando and Lewis take the ten teams cars for a “road test” type showdown on a few different types of tracks and then give their verdict on the cars.
I’ve always thought it would be fun to give them all the same car and see who would win, just for an event or something. Now it’s RB dominating, before it was Mercedes. But with the same car it would really be Verstappen VS Hamilton.
Although I also have been wondering, how “same” the cars of teammates really are.
There are always tolerances, and no two parts are “the same”, and there always is one which is slightly closer to the perfect value than the other.
I’ve wondered how much of a difference that could make when you add it all up over a whole racecar.

A yearly A1GP-like event would be incredible.
A1GP was cool! Closest we have these days is race of champions
I’d be super down for that as well.
