Last year, I """""""defended""""""" Red Bull/Vettel, because it seemed that there was only one voice being heard.
I """""""offered""""""" my opinion that Red Bull/Vettel deserved their winning streak/dominance, because they
were ahead of the rest of the grid, including Ferrari. Even though Red Bull dominated, there were races where
there was competition from other teams/drivers on the grid, case in point Ferrari/Alonso in 2011!! There was
dominance; but, it didn't start from the beginning of the year. Sure, it was getting old; but, with the new rules
coming into play for this year, as a fan, there was nothing left to do but wait and hope for the best!!
THIS year, it's pretty obvious that Mercedes is the team dominating. It's pretty obvious they are the ones who
put their best foot forward and haven't had a misstep to speak of. Good on them. BUT, that doesn't mean I have
to be happy about it!! That doesn't mean I can't be fed up with the sort of dominance that starts at the beginning
and, thanks to the new regs, is pretty well guaranteed them for the rest of the season.
Last year, I did NOT understand the full extent of the "freeze", THIS year, I am understanding them better. This
year, my opinion has changed about "dominance".
After the agony of defeat, success will be sweet!
