    Lewis and Max were in whole nother universe at Qatar. Yes that's been true all year but that track just seemed to magnify the optics.

    Is it the cars, or the drivers?

    Given how Bottas and Perez finished in identical cars, I suspect that it
    was the drivers. Hard to imagine anyone doubting the skill or Hamilton
    and Verstappen.

    Doesn't make for the best racing though, when -- accidents or breakdowns
    aside -- one of the two of them always ends on top of the podium.

    (OK, I know it isn't *always* one of them.)
