It's very obviously Max's team. Look at the struggles every other driver who has raced alongside him (excepting Ricciardo in Max's rookie Red Bull year) has had with just being on the same team.

McLaren is a safe seat for Lando and the car has improved immensely over the last few seasons. Red Bull has shown over and over that the number 2 seat is incredibly hot. Your odds of being out on your ass are so high.

But what team doesn't have a dominant driver, though? I mean, McLaren seem to be the odd exception to the rule amongst teams that aren't backmarkers, at least.

Mercedes and Ferrari didn't have dominate drivers, George's dnfs were a big reason why he was further away from Lewis. 6 pts separated the Ferrari drivers.

I'd argue that Ferrari is mostly Leclerc's team, though.

Leclerc is defiantly the favorite child but he hasn't been dominate.

I think that's more what I was going for.
