#carvsdriver

There is always that argument in F1 circles. How much is the driver and how much is the car. This SportsOrca piece goes straight into the awkward part of that question. The seasons where everything on the timing sheets screams one thing. The package was a rocket and the champion rode it all the way to the top. It looks at title runs where the gap was brutal before anyone even touched set up. Front rows locked out, wins stacked, teammates left behind by tiny margins, and rivals wondering if they were even in the same sport. You still see skill, pressure handling, clean laps in traffic. You also see what happens when a truly elite machine lands in the right garage at the right time. If you enjoy the messy car versus driver debate and you like picking apart what really decided a championship, this one will give you plenty to fight about in the comments.
