If I may summarize the anti-RB crew ITT:
Quali: "Didn't make Q3! Wow! He is CRACKING! Perez showing who is the real best driver!"
Race: "It is OVER. The season is DONE. There are NO challengers. Verstappen will win ALL of the races. The sport is DOOMED!"

I wonder how long FOM and FIA will allow this RB dominance
Pretty sure the viewing numbers will start to plummet after todays race…
Clearly ZERO contenders to Max and his Third WDC this year… Perez is just pathetic sadly…
Basic understanding of F1 history is that it is defined by eras. McLaren era, Ferrari era, RB era, Merc era, etc. F1 has never been known for Mario Kart or NASCAR type races (or whatever the casuals are seeking). If you understand the sport well enough there aren't really any dull races.
First and foremost, the post was meant to be a joke...
I've been following Formula 1 since 2003, so I think I've witnessed a few eras of dominance, but also some epic racing... But this, what we are seeing this year... My gawd it's boring...
You basically know that 1-2 are sealed if there are no mechanical issues, and the rest can fight for 3rd place... It has been similar with Merc in the past, but the sheer dominance of the RB package... ufff... I wouldn't be surprised if they have a 1-2 until the end of the season! Only "stain" would be AUS... Now, THAT would be a record for the ages...
