I just feel like I've never been able to have this discussion before and thought maybe here I could.
Lewis is undoubtedly a fantastically talented driver. For crying out loud the guy has won a race in every season he's been in the sport.
He's undeniably an all-time great but where he exactly stacks up is always going to be subjective because it's so difficult to compare drivers across eras.
But it seems that there is never any room to discuss the fact that his status as the statistical GOAT was aided significantly by having a car that was SO head and shoulders above the rest that in essence, for 4/6 of his Mercedes titles, all he really had to do was beat his teammate.
I feel like this notion came "baked in" to people's understanding of Schumacher, even before Lewis overtook him statistically. It was understood that you couldn't just blanket declare Michael as "GOAT" because that ignored the context of the cars he won in.
With Lewis, it seems like he gets the blanket GOAT declaration, without an acknowledging of the fact that amazing drivers like Fernando Alonso, Max Verstappen and others never even had a chance to compete (until this season for Max) for titles in the last 7 years.
Yes, seb had a competitive car and lewis bested him.
To me that's actually Lewis' biggest achievement of the last 7 years, at least in terms of showing his talent - the fact that he went back up against Seb after having lost to him in two title fights years earlier, and this time he won. That's an achievement that truly can't be denied in any way. Similar machinery and he came out on top against a fellow 4x world champion
But so many other drivers simply never have had the chance. And we'll really never know how things might have been different had, say, red bull been properly in the mix all these years.... Or if someone like Ricciardo had replaced Rosberg instead of Bottas, just as an example.
I know a lot of us hate him for hiding his relationship with Marnie, but I think I know the reason why.
You guys remember the Stardew Valley Agricultural Fund? Sometimes Lewis sends you some money from it. Y'know what'd count under the fund? Livestock. What is Marnie's thing? Livestock.
Now I know what you're thinking, what does the fund have to do with hiding the relationship? From a legal stand point I'm pretty sure if it was out in the open they were dating, Marnie wouldn't be able to get the funding due to her relationship with the mayor, I can't exactly remember the rules behind things like that, but I know here in Australia your government payments gets lowered if you're dating someone, so a lot of people hide their relationships for that reason. I'd imagine it'd be the same with Marnie dating Lewis but... More of a cut, if that makes sense.
I believe the reason why they hide the relationship is so she can continue to get her government funding from the Stardew Valley Agricultural Fund.
he’s not the best guy, no, but i don’t think he’s evil either. the townsfolk don’t seem to have an issue with him, and he’s fairly kind to everyone.
