The mechanical failure that Hamilton had while leading late in the 2016 season would have seen Hamilton take the championship. Anyone who knows anything about F1 knows that.

As I repeatedly state...Hamilton in his rookie season bested the x2 world champion Alonso.
Who else in the history of modern F1 has competed so strongly in their rookie year against a current F1 champion as their team mate.

How on earth do you manage to characterise Hamilton as average in the context of that performance.

On crashes...this from 2021:
The German Autobild stated:
The Dutchman has already crashed out 28 times in his career so far and that is more often than Hamilton in his entire Formula 1 career. The Briton crashed out 26 times.

Thats with more than twice the number of years in F1.
