I'm not picking on you GRA with this.

I can't remember there being such a reaction to one team, one driver being so dominant when Mercedes and Hamilton ruled the road. Here's some stats around the first 166 races for each driver. There's not much difference.

"After the first three races of the 2023 season, the Dutch driver has cemented himself as the top driver in F1 and the one to beat this year. Interestingly, Hamilton was ahead of Max Verstappen's pole position count after making his first 166 appearances in his F1 career despite the Dutch driver's spree of records since the start of his career.

Let's compare some stats of both drivers after the 166 races in their careers:

Age: Hamilton 30-25 Verstappen

Titles: Hamilton 2-2 Verstappen

Wins: Hamilton 33-37 Verstappen

Poles: Hamilton 38-22 Verstappen

Fastest laps: Hamilton 20-22 Verstappen

Podiums: Hamilton 71-80 Verstappen"
