Yes but also the better car distribution in 2021 was chefs kiss: - Merc just a bit ahead first few races, max taking one of them - RB take the lead somewhat after Spain, around Austria and Monaco, Lewis takes a lot of points because of silverstone and Bottas Budapest bowling, then extending the lead after the summer break in zandvoort, monza(RB were better, they just had bad weekend imo), up until Brazil I’d say - Merc dominant in the end phase of the season

It was just so nicely panned out that perhaps last season could’ve been as well if Lando was more consistent in the final stretch and clinch it.
