We must’ve overlooked in OP where it says “Max’s first good teammate since he knows how to drive”

Yea I was about to say
And Ricciardo’s impressively rotten luck in 2018 make a comparison of that year frankly difficult

But also provides an interesting if not spot on comparison to your question
Checo achieved Max’s first good teammate in 2022-2023, and then 2024 lost all confidence.
Was that worth it? Questionable, though ofc he now gets the Caddy arc
But he was also late career when joining Red Bull

If you’re already going to be updating it
Is there a way to mark when new drivers came into the team?
Related, did you consider Max lead driver from the jump here, and if not when is the transition?
Or is lead driver just considered whoever had more points in the season?

this again is part of what makes next year so compelling
How will or won't this parity emerge from a clean technical slate?

No, but you can make a case that Schumi at Ferrari ushered in an era of "one driver / one team" that did not exist before
1974-1999: 6 teams won WDC by 15 drivers
2000-2024: 6 teams won WDC (5 if you count Merc as Brawn) by 8 drivers

absolutely. And McLaren, Williams, <Enstone> all went through terrible stretches and have had to build up
Then there is Ferrari....

haha it certainly is a selective stat, and I was waiting for someone to poke at the Rosberg-sized hole
2010 & 2012 were cracking titles for sure, shows Vettel's championship mindset to win
2014 & 2016 were dominant Merc intra competitions
2021 we all know about
and this year. so 6/16 since 2010

Absolutely. I think regardless of how this weekend goes we will look back on this year as most special, driving talent wise

…as clearly Schumi’s Ferrari counts and even one could argue McLaren in the 80s
But since 2010 the pendulum has swung away from parity towards dominance, and has yet to show much signs of swinging back
Part of what makes the new regs next year so intriguing. And to a lesser extent this weekend

…as they have performed as needed with the best machinery on the grid to achieve consistent glory. They should be considered among the short list of all-time greats in the sport
