An absolutely distorted account of the facts, for the use and consumption of new fans looking for stories and exploits which, unfortunately, are currently missing. The media, instead of offering a realistic commentary on the facts, prefer to create non-existent situations which are then taken up and multiplied disproportionately by social media, where everyone writes their own little article based on cosmic nothingness.

These idiocies not only undermine the credibility of this sport, where it seems that the dominant team becomes second or third force based on convenience from one Grand Prix to the next, but they also undermine the greatness of a driver who, however unpleasant, is deserving his victories on the field, driving without a shadow of a doubt the best single-seater on the grid (today perhaps we are used to cars that give one second per lap, but even a few tenths are enough), with the best team in strategic management, with practically no never making mistakes and always bringing home the victory with the precision of a Swiss watch.
The fact of driving the best car is not a shame and does not take anything away from the greatness of the champion. This is simply the history of F1: almost all world titles have been won by drivers driving winning cars, and it is normal for this category.
For example, someone like Mansell, considered among the strongest in history, won the championship when he was driving a spaceship and lost it when the team didn't tighten the wheel nuts in the pit stop. Ergo, you can't win without the right car and the right team. Like it or not, you have to get over it and study the history of this sport by reading books, rather than watching "Drive to Survive".
However, even regardless of these considerations, the McLaren is not the best car on the grid. It has excellent speed performances and has significantly reduced the gap, but also in Canada Red Bull took pole (let's say so) and won the race, easily controlling the dry conditions at the end of the race. So, what are we talking about? The Woking team always appears inconsistent and not mature enough to be a real title contender.

The single-seater from Milton Keynes remains the best in terms of balance on the various tracks and in tire management, something that Ferrari and Mercedes absolutely lack, which are too affected by the layout of the various tracks and have a tire usage window that remains problematic despite the progress .
So let's stop boasting about inferiorities that don't exist. The summer will remove any possibility of inventing stupid things because the Red Bulls will give the break and this absurd narrative will finally end. In the meantime, let's enjoy Le Mans, which remains one of the few safe havens for those who truly love racing.
