Another Grand Prix, another victory for Max Verstappen, it starts to be really boring. In 11 disputed Grand Prix this year, he won 9 of them. The only 2 ones he lost was the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and the Azerbaijan one where he finished at the second position few seconds behind his Redbull teammate Sergio Perez. That's very disappointing to bet on other pilots than him, but I'm still expecting a surprise in the next races while odds for other pilots victories increase.
I really think if Lewis Hamilton keeps on winning the race well people will also say that the race was boring, I really think we don't really appreciate more what the Driver's efforts give in giving us a good race, and surely all drivers want to be on the top and all wants to win the 1st place and I really think the Mechanic system is the thing we need to blame here for RedBull getting a dominant car because for me this is not a battle of the Drivers but the Mechanic themselves that is why there are 4 trophies on the Podium 1 was for the mechanic,
But for sure Lewis Hamilton did his best he did a great job in the qualifier but come short in the main race, but for me, Lando Norris was the highlight here another podium for him,
The dominance is way too big and like Toto said after the race that you have the feeling that all the other cars are F2 cars and only Max has an F1 car and to be honest , it looks just like that
. Maybe next year , McLaren will improve even further this car and they will be able to fight RedBull or at least be a real challenge towards them ...but until then, I think we will see Max winning every race of the remaining season.
The Thing that I want to talk about here is why is only Max Verstappen is able to do it, there are 2 RedBull machines out there why do we only see Max Verstappen getting the dominance in the race, is RedBull really sabotaging Sergio Perez for Daniel Ricciardo's return, there are surely a lot of controversies that are happening right now and I think it is a good topic to discuss, and with this race, we can see the huge lead of Max Verstappen to Lando Norris, and still gaining momentum we can see how fast the RedBull when on Verstappen's hands what if Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen switches car, what will happen,
Another issue is Lando Norris breaks Max Verstappen's trophy at the podium celebration when banging his wine on the stage where Max's trophy was and the Trophy dropped and was shattered into pieces, that was hilarious when Norris was making excuses about it.
Luckily Max and Lando are friends because if it was Leclerc there would words said for breaking his trophy.
Kidding aside, it has been a Red Bull season so far with them taking all the races mid-season so far.
With Verstappen only losing two and those were to his counter part Perez in said races you had mentioned.
Amazingly they had broken a record with the Hungarian GP race with 12 races won in a row by a team in F1.

The dominance of RedBull by RedBull and of course Verstappen is as high this year as it was a few years ago with Mercedes, there was rarely a winner not named Hamilton or Rosberg. But it's good that Mercedes and McLaren are catching up with RedBull. But this year, unfortunately, not much will change.

Last time we hope Mcclaren to be at top after being third in the manufacter championship, they were a shit in the next season, and now they are recovering for that, so i dont put so much trust on them to be a contender. But yes hopefully they can fight.
Aston Martin its dropping really bad, they need to wake up now.Toto is not wrong with that statement on how Red Bull's are racing against F2 cars out on the track this season and Mercedes are already looking forward to next season with 11 more races to go tells you they know when they are beaten.
Funny you mention this because Stroll actually finished with points but Alonso didn't get a podium this race and are looking quite bad now.
F1Will put out a nice video yesterday about how Lance Stroll is finished and pretty much dragging the entire team down with him:
How Bad is Lance Stroll? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud9dTau9sok
Vettel was a great driver for Aston Martin wasn't he?
