RB20 is not superior. Otherwise both drivers would be far ahead.
Of you compare all the car’s except Max The field is very close and without RB all others seemed to have temperature issues.
They solve their temperature problems and…whoosh gone is Perez his 2nd place.
That Max has the ability to adapt to a car and maximize its performance is the Max factor. And he’d probably do the same trick in every other car.
I can think of plenty of races where Bottas looked average in a "dominant" Mercedes.
I like Bottas, but he was flattered by the old Mercedes being easy to drive. Max Verstappen's Red Bull is tailored to suit him only, but there's no way Perez is a full second slower than Max. That being said, there's no one catching Red Bull right now. They're probably the only ones who truly understand these regulations. And they weren't even pushed last season. They can outdevelop everyone in a season
