IMHO, the strongest and most consistent drivers on the race days are MV LH FA
Sometimes LN
but guarantee that these 3 would not be in the same team.
That Red Bull is tailored made for MV perhaps or is he simply that fast? Would not know,
hope we can add this name Nyck de Vries in soon.
who did I miss out?

I'd say a bit of both, RB is fast and tailored for MV while MV himself is fast too, surely faster than most. The way I usually see it is where the 2nd driver standings at the end of the year. If the 2nd driver is also 2nd then the car is really more dominant cuz the the team also would have won the title with the 2nd driver. If the 2nd driver us further down and beaten by other team drivers, then you can say the 1st driver skill somewhat makes the difference to win.

GR drove the W11 in 2020 as stand in for lulu and came within an engine failure of winning a Grand Prix first time out.
Shows you how easy the car was to drive even for someone not usually in the team.
If at the end of this year GR still finished shead of LH, this will be the 3rd time LH got beaten by team mates.

Too early to tell for De Vries. He was in the points because some of the faster cars had to take place penalties.
Agree, cuz as MV said, NL is not a good benchmark anyway. He might get another chance in SG. But I'd say he can compete in F1, just have to see how really good he is.
