When he joined Merc it was a different era and he didnt get much, the year after the hybrid era started with a dominant Merc and the winning started.
Yeah, not saying they are up to no good but they are not helping their cause
He won before merc and he will win after....
Nobody is doubting the talent of Hamilton. However, you cannot win with a poor car. Hamilton always won because the car he drove at whatever team was always capable of winning. It's his credit that he extracted that potential from the cars he drove, just that you can't deny the car's involvement in that. That's no criticism or dislike towards Hamilton. There's no world champion able to say "I won a championship with a backfield car".
That is why we call it "Motorsports" not "athletics' or "gymnastics", especially in f1.
Even in spec series there are some teams who dominate, which shows that those teams have extracted the maximum of their package.
So it is a team sports, it all depends on the team and the driver
People making it to discredit a driver or a team dont really understand the sport.
