I don't know if we can really fault Red Bull, or just hold higher regard for how well Mercedes and Hamilton execute their plans. One can make up for the other when something doesn't go perfect.
It's pretty much a sport where the race is won before it starts — which does take away from the sense of grit and heroic competition, but when we're talking being the absolute fastest, this is how it just looks. Lewis always had pace on his side despite how Verstappen looked early in the race.
