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

    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.

      Yep… Max’s dominance seems to be a side effect of the new regulations for closer racing, IMO. The new regulations favor Max because he is so consistent and fast while still having a bit of a margin, combined with a now very reliable car, and a good portion of luck as well. I still think it’s more interesting to watch than the previous years. Max is, while more consistently in front, still closer to the pack than Hamilton in his dominant years.

      I’d also lay a lot of the “problems” of the sport are also due to the attitude of the fans praising the winner in an “all or nothing”-fashion instead of focusing on the battles for 2nd-10th as well. F1 already did try a lot to change this, IMO (DotD, fastest Lap, new Regs, TV-directing)

        This. People act as if there is nothing other than the fight for the winner and then completely ignore the brilliant action for all other spots. Yes a season becomes brilliant when there is a compelling fight for the drivers championship but we can have great racing even without a fight for P1

      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.
