Will Buxton, F1 Digital Presenter:Β In seasons where champions have little real challenge from a rival driver or team, the key factor to see in them is the ability to consistently seek the fight against themselves. Itβs something which marked Lewis and Michael out in their eras of dominance, and it is a facet I have seen in Max this year. He has consistently looked at himself and worked at perfecting his craft, improving his performances week on week. He has refined almost every area of his racecraft, calming his temperament along the way, and whilst seeking that higher level also achieved a level of consistency he has never shown before. In almost every regard he has taken tremendous leaps towards becoming the complete driver.
