how much does driver skill actually come into play? it seems like whoever has the best car is pretty much unbeatable. i watched nascar as a young kid and those races had way more passing. that said, f1 definitely seems to have a cool vibe and aesthetic to it. feels like it takes a lot to really appreciate the little details of it though.

Max has been a regular on the podium despite his teammate in the same car doing much worse for years. I think 2023 when Red Bull actually had the best car did his teammate finish right behind him. He also won 19/22 races that year.
This year it seems as if the Red Bull is probably the 4th best car, but Max will still be a title favorite because he’s so good.
There is a point where it doesn’t matter how good you good the driver is because the car is so shit. See Hamilton in 2022-2023. Hulk also probably would have a podium or win by now if he raced for one of the big 4 teams too.
I guess what I’m saying is that it’s required to have a good car and be a good driver.
